    dont really like this idea. we typically want to adjust our open sizing down as we get closer to the button, because we will be opening a wider range and so want a better price on our steals/burn less money when we get 3bet (because the more hands we are opening the more we are exploitable vs aggression). especially vs nits in the blinds where most of our EV comes from them folding an absurdly high % preflop. we want to be opening as small a size as we can we get away with in order to give ourselves a cheap price on our steals. as best i understand it anyway.

    if you are playing 25nl as loose/aggressively as you suggested in another thread somewhere then i can almost guarantee you are sacrificing EV if you open the button for 4x as a standard
