Just follow others lead as to sizing pre, but if in doubt 2.5bb is never far wrong for an open, 3x for a 3bet 2.3x for a 4bet, all sized up 0.5bb out of position
Take cc lines v the aggro types to print $ and assume everyone is a fish incapable of folding top pair until proven otherwise

Thanks. I am aware that your typical open has gone down to the sub-3x range these days, although I will admit that I do not really know why. I assume it is to allow you to open a wider range, but it seems that there must be an inflection point where people are calling larger raises with such trash that it makes sense to exploitatively open larger.
