Default Re: 2 Hands - 2 Mistakes?

Chief:

[ QUOTE ]
I think the biggest mistake is not raising pf in hand 2 with two loose limpers and a CO poster.


[/ QUOTE ]

I do not raise in this spot, but I am not as aggressive as some preflop. I do not think raising is a mistake, but I do not think just limping is a mistake. Like Festus, I generally reserve my raise for hands like QJs, KTs, and JTs, for lp. (not always, but usually) In addtion, I think the presence of a poster diminishes the chances of buying the button.

I really have no math to back up my statement, just a personal preference--I really like to have position to play my suited connector hands aggressively. I am willing to consider that QJs is strong enough in a spot like this that not raising is a mistake, like you suggest.
