Default Re: So what hands do you open limp here?

raising:
-helps to secure position
-inflates a pot in position
-gives you a chance to fold the blinds
-secures momentum
-forces passive players to check to you allowing you to dicate how many bets go into the pot
-takes away equity from the SB when it would have been correct for him to complete
-builds equity when the BB defends with a hand he shouldnt have
-gives you a better chance of keeping the pot shorthanded with a mediocre multiway hand
-keeps opposing player actions "pure"
-betting is simply better than calling
