Default Re: Standard? I decided to raise preflop for a change

My comments assumed good flop play in which you aren't stacking with a weak draw. But that hand can make top 2, a combo hand, or a very strong draw which often will be a surprise to opponents who might only think he has AA. If you can never disguise your hand even as a shorter stack, you won't get paid off as much or get good action with premium draws when you have a big equity advantage. Only with the shortest possible buyin, 20% of the max, would I not consider raising in position here with that hand, along with the table situations that were very wild and where I might get reraised by a LAG holding a junk hand.
