Standard Deviation

Watching dozens of hands in succession has shown that the standard opening raise at this level has been universally set at 3,200, or 2x the bb in the current vernacular.
So when Jason Wright raised to 5,000 after the action folded around to him in the cutoff, his raise of more than three times the big blind drew a few raised eyebrows from his opponents.
"I'll tell you why after you fold," said Wright, sensing that his peculiar raise had piqued the curiosity of the table. "After you fold though."
The button and blinds dutifully mucked their cards, and Wright held up his 
for the table to see.
"I've had these three times now," Wright continued. "And every time they've been magnets for the ace on the flop... Don't want anyone coming in there with that ace-jack now."
