Re: Low Limit Problems
[ QUOTE ]
with a big pair and a live two flush two straight, you should raise. not to knock people out, but because your equity is high.

Exactly. You need to raise here and don't think twice about it. The limpers are not going to understand that they shouldnt call a raise on 5th anyway because the pot is small. Get your money in now while you are ahead. You may have to fold by 5th but you will more than make up for the extra bets lost with huge pots being shipped over to you when you win. The times when you don't fold 5th, you will often get the best of both worlds and someone will bet into you forgetting about your 3rd street raise and then you can get the extra money in on third and the raise in on 5th.
