Re: Raising middle pairs
Obviously raising middle pairs is something that becomes more +EV the deeper the stack. I think you will find that raising middle pairs become a very good play with position b/c these hands have good showdown value even if you are called on your flop continuation bet and many players will just call a raise with AK out of position yet play their TPTK for their entire stack.
For example,
Limp from the CO with 66 and have the BB check AKo with a flop of A 2 6.
Now. .
Raise from the CO with 66, have the BB call you with AK then a flop of A 2 6.
Which hand do you think you will make more on?
