Playing small PPs on the button in a limped pot
How do you guys play small PPs on the button in a limped pot? I know that on the button you are supposed to 'punish limpers' etc and play an almost raise or fold mentality. However, to me low PPs i.e 22-66 play poorly PF if you miss which is 8/9 times. If you raise it up, get a couple of callers and the flop comes all overcards to your PP what then?
Furthermore I play PPs for their implied value. I know I'm not getting the 8-1 I need to hit my set PF, but if I do it I have the whole of my opponents stacks to go for. If there are 5 other people in the pot then I have 5 stacks to go at but if I have raised it and isolated one of the other players then there is only his stack. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there's a higher chance that someone has flopped something where there are more people in the pot. Sounds obvious but is very true.
I take a similar attitude to suited connectors for their implied odds. Obviously if it is folded to me on the button then I will raise any PP and any SC. I'd just like to make that clear so you don't think I'm weak tight.
Thoughts?
