One weak limper to you on the button. Assuming average blinds how bad a hand do you need to raise here?
I am struggling to maintain my standards. Recently I have begun to raise regularly with K9o, Q9s, A8o (I'm talking Party 10-20). I have also flirted with the idea of raising even weaker hands before common sense prevailed and I switched the mouse from raise to fold at the last moment.
But maybe it wouldn't be so bad to raise with other hands here. Nate mentioned in a post recently that raising any two first in from the button is only very slightly minus EV.
I am wondering how bad it would be to virtually ignore the weak limper and just go ahead and raise the blinds (with the usual range) as if he wasn't there?
Maybe I am just on my way to being a maniac. My Pfr has been getting higher and higher (over 16 now). Maybe I am one already.
