Theory: CO and BTN open raise sizing
What is the consensus regarding CO and BTN open raise sizing in 6 max PLO. My thoughts are that considering our range is weaker we want to open smaller, it also makes it cheaper to call 3 bets and lets us utilise our positional advantage more with deeper stacks postflop however I notice a lot of good regs (better than me) opening to pot all the time.
Could someone please explain the reasoning why opening to pot in the CO and on the BTN is best?
Thanks
James

Could be they are adjusting to ppl defending the BB wider. Raising pot from both BU and CO probably can't be much worse than 2.5x or 3x and could well be better. It does maximise fold equity, make the pot bigger when BB flats and we should have a slight range advantage with pos. Only time it's bad I think is if BB is just folding or 3betting a lot and we can get away with 2.5x raises.
