The standard opening raise in $1/2 NL is $15 at this table? Is this just for this event?

I'm surprised at your suprise. A raise of 7.5 x BB will often thin the field to one or two callers without taking down the blinds at the Foxwoods $1-2. Isn't that the definition of a good standard raise for whatever game you're playing in?

Opening for 25 was also common. In my experience this often happens when players get.. 1. Very stuck. 2. Very drunk. 3. Very steamed. 4. All of the above. This table had a nice mixture, since all of us had been up all night long.
