Hey spoon!

you should be open raising something like four times as many hands from the button as you do from UTG

I'd say that 4 times is probably still too loose from UTG. I'd aim for at least 6 times.

Keep in mind, that you probably want to be under 50% even on your (loosest) button range... so tighten those early-position ranges dramatically.

I have something that I think is worth mentioning for Post-Flop:

Heads-up hands (that is, when it's just you and 1 opponent) are very different from multi-way hands (when it's you and more than 1 opponent).

The number of opponents makes a huge difference to the strength of your hand.
In multi-way hands, you need a stronger hand to win. Also, a bluff is less likely to win.

So play more passively in multi-way hands and more aggressively in heads-up pots.
