Different raises for different positions?

In Phil Gordon's Little Green Book, he states that as his skills increased he found a system of raises that worked better for him than the standard 3xBB raise:

Phil Gordon said:

My Position - - Raise

Early - - - - - - 2.5 to 3 times BB

Middle - - - - - 3 to 3.5 times BB

Late - - - - - - 3.5 to 4 times BB

Small Blind - - - 3 times BB

I haven't really heard any mention of this concept previously at this forum - is this something that anybody here uses :questionm

I have experimented with this, and really like it. Lots of times, however I am raising 2.5x from almost everywhere, w a slight increase on the button. The idea is that you are playing smaller pots out of position, bigger ones in position.

Here is an article.

Oooh that does make sense. I generally just raise 2-3x everywhere...but perhaps I'll give that a try

Seems to work quite well...

I was just rereading Gordon's Little Green Book Yesterday and came across this. I am going to have too make a conscious effort to give it a shot now.
