Why the small pre-flop raise?

I do 3-4x the BB with AK generally. 2.75 seems a bit low.

I lean more toward 4x with AK for opening and 5-6 if limped to me. I like to take down the pot preflop with AK if possible and, if not, be in position post-flop.

Great reply, Lloyd. Thanks for taking the time to write that up.

At the levels I play at Party, I find 3-4xBB almost always necessary to thin the field to two, and I'd rather err on the side of taking down the blinds uncontested then finding msyelf 3 ways or more and out of position.

With a limper or more in front of me, I'm often raising 5xBB in order to push out the rest of the field and isolate the limper out of position.

So I think we are on the exact same page, but perhaps I need to be more fluid in understanding the precise raise necessary to accomplish my goals.
