Generally do you guys like to raise more and take control of the hand?

[/ QUOTE ]

generally i like to fold more, unless i have a specific reason/thought process for plaing these hands, then yes, in a general sense, i am raising more.

such as: the blind are tight. the limper(s) are weak. the limper(s) are bad. i can buy the button.

also, there is a big difference imo between MP2 and CO or button...so i will answer from the point of view of MP2 against typical opponents and nobody of note behind me yet to act.

1) KJo with 1 limper

i'd raise.

2) KJo in MP-LP with 2-3 limpers - I limp, is a raise standard?

i'd limp

3) QJo with 1 limper

fold

4) KTo with 1 limper

fold

5) KTo with 2-3 limpers

fold

6) QTo with 1 limper - I fold, should I raise. limping seems yucky here.

fold

7) QTo with 2-3 limpers

fold.

I can't explain why i feel so nice about KJo and not so nice about QJo. I'm averse to QJo I guess. (a marginal, marginal, hand...it is said)

now, from button:

1) KJo with 1 limper

old me, limp. new me raise.

2) KJo in MP-LP with 2-3 limpers - I limp, is a raise standard?

i think raise is better, but i dunno.

3) QJo with 1 limper

old me, fold. new me, raise.

4) KTo with 1 limper

old me, fold. new me, undecided - but leaning towards raise.(raising loses it's appeal since i already have the button, but i'd much rather play this hand HU than 4 way)

5) KTo with 2-3 limpers

limp or fold i can't decide. leaning towards fold, but i think i can pull off a limp here.

6) QTo with 1 limper - I fold, should I raise. limping seems yucky here.

raise. want to get this suckah HU.

7) QTo with 2-3 limpers

limp, and feeling uncomfortable about it.
