I'd like to know your opinion on the ideal preflop raise with a strong hand (TT and above), and regardless of position. I prefer a 2 or 2.2 BB, how would you do it?
At least 2,5 in EP and 3-4 in LP.
Less than 2,5 is inviting disaster.
Totally disagree. The cards are the last thing to look at. First how many have limped in, second what position am I in, third who has limped in, forth how many chips do I have in relation to the others, fifth and probably the most important, what do I want my raise to accomplish. The cards still come after do I even want to be in this pot with the people that are already in? Then I can determine what the raise size should be for that hand and only that hand. Having said all that my standard is between 2.5 bb and pot size raise. But if 3 or more have limped in and I have AA/KK that probably is pot size or more.It depends what cards you have, but 3 BB is usually enough.

I would say 3 - 5 times the big blind and then 1 BB per limper.

I think the optimal variant from the EV point of view should be very beautiful in the mathematical sense. Thus, most likely these are the numbers E and PI, respectively, for the early and late positions.
EXP=2.72
PI=3.14
This - ideal
