It was a 80-20 situation. I never thought he would have this kind of hand.
Every table is different and you need to find the raise size that will get you HU (3-way max) each time you play. This will also depend on position and how many limpers there were up to your action. It is not a formula .. during the day with nits/OMC regs you can limit your exposure and open smaller, but at night when the crazies come out that is the time for adjustment/increase.
Your other issue may be your opening range. If regs know your 'raise range' then they can play wider and pick their spots against you when you open OOP.
Typically from EP or LP (with multiple limpers) you need to raise bigger to thin the field. From EP you are charging them for their position PF. From LP you are picking up the dead money or gaining information on their raise calling range so you can punish them OTF and OTT.
Use your 'spidy sense' and find out what each table can handle that day and push it to the limit for HU play. Especially at 1-2 with short stacks it can take the thinking out of the hand by the River, if not the Turn. GL
