I play only 6-max.

I almost always raise with 88-55 if no one has raised.

With 44-22 I usually raise as well if no one has raised except from the blinds where I usually check.

Yep, But I guess I would win more if I can tighten up a bit, and get away from some leaks of mine. [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Why not?
I like raising small pockets in unraised pots - I'd rather be the aggressor sitting with a PP, than calling PF.
I also play 6max, and I almost always raises all PP from late positions (it there are many limpers before me, I might limp up til 88), in early positions I raise with 66, and often limp the lower.

You should be raising with those hands if the situation permits it. Of course it depends on the table situation and the types of players there. Based on what's happened in the last few hands you can certainly consider a call to try to catch a set if you've been aggressive lately and have opponents itching to play back at you.
