Raising standards

[bigsooner]

How much are raising standards lowered in LL games from middle/ latemiddle possition, when you are first in compared to when there are limpers. ie. KJ A9s 77 are these and others ok to raise with in these situations??? thanks

It depends on who the limpers are, how many there are, and how they play after the flop, how loose the blinds are, and how well the blinds play.

With one or two weak opponents and tight blinds, I would frequently raise the hands that you listed.
