Re: Blind Steal? (hypothetical)
[ QUOTE ]
These types definetly have an edge when in position playing against two poor players with random hands. I have no doubt that it is +EV to play these. Why I should raise instead of simply limp is not clear to me though.

It depends on their postflop weakness(es). A few examples:
-If they are very weak-tight your pot equity (due to folding equity on later streets) is higher than 33% and you want the pot as big as possible and you raise.
-If they are very loose-passive your profit comes from bets they put in later when they are behind, and seeing the flop is just an investment to come into this situation. Then you want to keep this investment as cheap as possible (since you are less than 33% likely to win the pot), and limping is the best way.
