Who here raises PP's 22-88 in almost all situations?

    Default Who here raises PP's 22-88 in almost all situations?

    I pretty much raises all PP's from any postition, preflop. The exceptions are on the button or in the blinds when everyone has limped behind me.

    Is this too loose? how do you play your PP's?

    what you said

    plus sometimes I squeeze with them OOP from the blinds and fire at any flop (not recommended for low-variance ppl)

    also 3-betting preflop to loose late-position raiser can be fun

    in 6 max, open-limping pp's is really really bad imo
    when the vpip's are high and the value bets are like razors, who can be safe?

    I raise them mostly, but usually just limp them when there are short stacks involved.

    I raise them a lot, just to build the pot. More likely to get callers on the flop if i hit too!

    Raise all, except when I am behind only short stacks. No implied odds building a pot for a 25 BBs stack.

    almost always raising is best but there are times when open limping is better

    ie you have 22 and an action short-stack is on your left, or somebody who will repop you in position with a very wide range.

    I agree though that raising is better in the large majority of situations, included raising compared to overlimping.

    i would limp if you have 44 in the CO, both blinds are aggro short stacks (50bb is small enough)

    If the table is full of loose-passive fish that pay off easily then limping is def. better. (but if stacks are deep then I'd lean towards raising them more often)
