Default Re: logic flawed? NL limp or raise

I think that any open raise on the button with a suited connector is simply an attempt to steal the blinds. You can't call a reraise or any bet after a flop that does not smack you in the head. That hand is great in a pot with several limpers. You look to flop the nuts and break the guy who flopped a set or limped with a big pair. Your almost never favored to a reraise and your probably a huge dog. Fold if your not looking to take the blinds.

I would raise with aj and call a reasonable reraise. The raiser probably has a pair or an ace higher than yours. If an ace flops, the pair will most likely play weak if they respect you. If the flop is small, the big ace will play weak. If you can't tell if the flop hit them after you bet and watch their play, then poker's just not your game, Ike.

I know there are ten reasons why I'm wrong, but that's my take.
