A loose limper, but standard raiser (something like 84/15) limps UTG and you have A4s in the small blind. Where does raising this hand range? Choices go from very bad to marginal to very good. Obviously, the tigher the BB is, the better the raise is.

Can you raise it everytime and still feel good about it?

I feel good about raising this everytime.

I will usually raise it (the situation you described is perfect for it) but probably not if the limper is tight and the BB is loose.

Something that can dicate the answer to your question is your table image and this player's reaction to it. A lot of times I raise in the blinds not only because I have an Axs hand, but also because if my opponents miss, they fold more easily so I don't have to improve as much.

very good unless the BB is marginally loose and very aggressive.

A4s has his 84% limping range crushed.
