Re: Never limp as first one in?
I think this idea is essentially correct in limit games between good players.
Raising with 66 or QTs UTG is generally -EV. So raising is out. The next question is should you call? In a TAG game the answer is no. You'll never get the big fields you want and you'll be sliced up by raises.
In a good loose/passive game however you can make money by calling with these hands because raises are less common and lots of people will come in, even if you do get raised. But you still cannot make money by raising 66 and getting called in three seats or possibly reraised. So calling is correct.
