Open raising in cash games compared to MTT's/SnG's
This might sound like a bit of a silly question, but when open raising in cash games should I be doing anything different to MTT's/Sng's?
When I OR in a tourney of any kind it's usually 3x (maybe a bit more in the first 2 levels) but when I do this in cash games I seem to get called all over the place which is annoying when your aces get busted by someone with K2!
FWIW, any cash games I do play is usually 5/10p (occasionally 10/20) so maybe that's part of the problem? Obviously when I do get big hands I'd like one caller (maybe 2 at a push) but when you get 6 I find it really frustrating knowing that I'm more likely to get outdrawn by some rags.

Having said that you will probably still get a lot of calls playing at .05/.10p tables.
In a SNG/MTT, especially towards the end then 2.5-3BB is more than sufficient
