Why would he want to raise this PF, other than to get a freecard, that's about it. Bet the flop when they check to you, no reason to think you are behind, dont give a freecard when you are ahead like this

Buying the button is goot. I'm a position whore though. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Yeah, I like a raise preflop. Not necessarily just because of "set odds" but because of a number of reasons: mostly, for me, I want to buy the button and be known as the preflop aggressor. When an Ace flops and it's bet into me, it makes my decision a bit easier. I'll often get to see the turn for free here when I need to, and can still bet when I flop my set. I'm not sure there's a huge difference between limping and raising preflop, but I'm raising so many hands here preflop (with this many limpers, I'm raising suited connectors 89s+, as well as my other standard raising hands)

Bet this flop. Turn raise goot. Good value bet on the river; were you taking a bet/fold line here?
