Spend a while debating opening for more in EP (with a stronger range etc) vs from LP. Then consider the implications re playing bigger pots oop, and how this relates to playing that strong pre-flop multi-way, etc...
hitting bet pot to steal has a nice ring to it, but is unlikely to be optimal. Also, when you have a strong hand it means that stroppy small blind is even more likely to over-3-bet their KJs
Will do.

I've experimented pretty widely with preflop theory. I recently switched back to open = amts (all positions) and decided on 3.5x. I've tried 3x and 4x and various differential openings, too. I'm definitely willing to think it through.
