    Default Raising any PP from ep...

    I think this strategy sucks for 25 NL in general. I think its semi-profitable at the extremely tight 25 nl tables (those arent very common) though

    it doesnt make me much money at all

    i think its better to limp and get multi-way against crap hands or call someones raise behind you because you're really only looking for a set anyways... since they barely fold on the flop if they catch any piece at all

    mind you this is for $25 nl and below only

    i disagree.

    i raise all my PP from all positions and its worked for me.
    raising ur PPs gives you 2 ways to win instead of 1. You are NOT only looking to set anyways. There is infact a turn and a river.

    Id be willing to say it might be marignally better if you are getting HU every time you do it, but if there are 2+ loose players calling your raises behind you, then youre hardly ever going to get a fold out of them with a c-bet on the flop, especially if you've been raising alot of hands preflop. Plus you're out of position so even when they miss they float on you sometimes just because you raise alot. By the time you finally catch them with tptk or two pair you almost break even from wasting so many c-bets. If you don't cbet theyll either stab at the pot or check behind with tons of outs against your small pair.

    On top of that I get overset by the campers because I will almost never fold to aggression once I hit that set, unless there is an obvious straight or flush... This could just be a leak of mine though... I make exceptions for this though if I see someone only set camping.. but thats hard to tell
