[Rick Nebiolo]

Blending your early position raises and limps well matters once you play against the same opponents often (and they are observant).

For example, you usually want to play small pairs in this game up front for a limp (in games where there isn't too much raising, and keep in mind limp folding after a big raise is OK). If you mix in some limp reraises with big hands you protect your limps with these hands somewhat.

BUT...if you try the limp reraise move with aces or kings AND there is no raise behind you AND you end up with several opponents you don't want to easily lose your entire stack (if it is big) with an overpair. If big money is going in postflop with a drawless board, you are usually behind unless you have excellent reads.

Also raise more with the hands laPoker17 mentions, usually raise with the two biggest pairs but mix in some limp reraises. You may want to limp reraise with AKs also, depending on stack size.
