Re: 88: LRR from UTG
I haven't been getting good results recently raising 77-99 pf from early. Too many times, I raise utg, get two cold-callers, and flop comes one or two overs. I bet flop, someone raises, and I fold. Or, I bet flop, they call, I check-fold turn.
Limping a mid pocket pair lets me evaluate the strength of my opposition's hands at a lower cost. Also, if I like the flop and bet, people will give me more credit for a hand when I limp than when I raise pf.
In this scenario, I felt that villian's 3-betting range could easily include AJ-AK, KJ-KQ, and maybe even QJ. His postflop play was lacking and I felt that after it became heads up pf, I should take the lead by 3-betting.
