In today's online poker it's rather 3bb early (>50bb) and 2-3 below 50, and typically with under 30bb it is only 2bb, sometimes when on UTG it can be slightly bigger. Generallymore than 3bb open is no good nowadays in my opinion and what I see on tables (pokerstars/888/party/betsafe)
you're absolutely correct, sir! the number of bb in your hand vastly affects your playable hands.
I haven't seen you lately, are you still playing with us?
I try to play when I can, but the tourneys are little too late for me in the night :( And today I forgot simply :P
