Not sure if this is the right place for this.
Been thinking, why is the standard raise size pre flop 3x or 4x in an unopened pot.
Let's say we are 100 bb effective stacks. We open w AA UTG to 4x and we get 1 caller. The pot is now 8 bb and we have 92 remaining.
We are now in a situation where we created an SPR of 11.5, which is pretty poor for our type of hand. It also sets up perfectly pot odds wise and spr wise for our villain to set mine with any pocket pair.
My question is if someone can explain why this is the standard open sizing of it typically puts us into unfavorable circumstances. Maybe there is something I am not completely understanding. It seems like it allows the villain to play perfectly and puts us in a position to make sure we value bet correctly and fold our overpair or tptk hand in the right spots.
Anyway just something I've been thinking about. Comments and criticism to my thought process appreciated as well as any further insight.
