Standard Raise In A 1/2/2 Structure?

[Double-A]

Local room I've been playing in spreads a 100NLHE game w/ a 1/2/2 blind structure. I usually raise 3-4xBB pre-flop but figure with the extra BB 4-5xBB is better.

Any thoughts about other ways this blind structure affects pre-flop play?

A pot sized raise would be 4.5xbb's.

Thanks for your reply.

The problem with needing to raise 4.5xbb to get pot is, with $100 capped buy in, you're putting in 10% of your stack or more. It forces me to play tighter than I like until I get a stack rolling.

You also face 3 random hands in the blinds which dampens out your steal attempts. The second big blind gets odds to call w/ just about anything.

I guess I'm kinda answering my own questions now...

I'll stop talking.
