Re: when is it correct to call on the button?

This is mainly just some thoughts I've had while laying in bed, is it sad that I think about poker before going to bed?

I can't tell you without knowing what your other options are.

But, just for fun, lets say KJo, is this a call or do you raise it also. What hands do you limp in with on the button if any?

KJo on the button - really depends on the players who are limping in ahead of me. Usually I will limp along with them, though it has been a while since I've been in a game that was 7-handed to the flop. With one or two limpers and tight blinds, I raise KJo in a heartbeat. But, with 4-5 limpers and loose blinds, I see less value in raising.

Also, what about raising a hand like JTs in my first example, this hand plays very well against lots of players, so we can build a huge pot for the times we have a great draw (ie. str8 and flush draws).

After 4-5 limper w/loose blinds I will raise JTs, T9s, and 98s on the button for exactly those reasons. The button gives us a huge positional advantage also, which we haven't mentioned yet.
