Re: Button hands...

I'm kinda new, but I don't really see how profitable it can be calling raises with offsuits, connectors or not unless they're broadway.

This is consideration, and is essentially why I made this post. Let me make the argument for calling, and hopefully someone can post some criticisms of my reasoning.
Say someone raises 4$ UTG w/ AA with $120 and there are a couple callers. I call on the button with 78o. This probably costs me $3 on average immediately. However, if I do hit, the bets on the flop turn and river are going to be much larger then what I give up preflop. Against somebody who won't fold AA, then the implied odds are there.
Against somebody who will fold AA, then if I semi bluff raise with an OESD or gutshot as well as my sets, it makes it very hard for them to show a long term profit against me. Make sense?
Also, because I have good position, I can take flops down where nobody flops anything.
