Re: Preflop hand selection when facing a raise
[ QUOTE ]
Do you use the GAP principle when determining when to call a raise PF? Meaning you need a 'premium rasing hand' in order to call a raise with?

In low-mid limit o8 games I play in, many people aren't too good, and will often raise with inadequate values, or hands that "look good", e.g. AA69r. As such it's not necessary to tighten up much when facing a raise. This is, however, of course opponent dependant. If I see a player fold 100 hands in a row and then raise UTG, I'm getting out of the way unless I pick up at least AA2 suited.
Also in o8 hand values run much closer in value, so calling a raise PF may not be that big of a mistake, even if he has a slightly better hand then yours.
