Default How important is the difference between CO/Button

I'm curious, because I had the following hand:

65s 2 bad limpers, one tight limper, I have 65s in the CO, they're all passive Post-flop, one guy in the SB has raised twice in the first 9 hands I've observed him play, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. The other blind is LPP.

With one more bad limper in the pot, I call in the CO. On the button, I'm going to call even in the present limper configuration (weird term, but it's the closest I can get).

--------------

In SSHE hand examples, very rarely are you on the CO, most of the time it's the button instead. I'd like ot know HOW much more valuable it is to have the CO than the button. This gives us an idea of how often to "buy the button" when the value of our hand doesn't completely warrant it, and help us play in general when we're in the CO.

Obviously, your actions in the CO depend on how loose and aggressive the button is PF, and how well he plays post-flop.

This is just one thing that could be a consideration...

Anyone want to discuss this?

If button is tight, raise less to buy the button because you won't need to buy it. If button is extraordinarily loose, raise less because you won't be able to buy it. Also consider the button's skill and aggression. The main purpose for buying the button is to act last on all streets. If villain is aggressive, you would rather have him out than in. If he is passive, you don't care as much because you're going to get the free cards anyway.

As far as the consideration of your own skills when buying the button...

Position + skills = major profit
Position - skills = minor profit

Hmmmm... somewhere, some Bible reading people are giggling at that...

I might fold in the example you specified, I really don't want to pay 2 bets to see this flop when SB raises.

I thought SSHE was the Bible around here. I doubt the types you were referring to would be here.

I have a theory about biblical names.

A bunch of old hebrew men got together and played drunken Boggle. They made a prop bet that if you said something that wasn't a word, you had to name your first born son that sound...

"Hmm... I don't know, a lot of vowels out there... Um, all I can see is 'Isaiah'"

"'Isaiah, eh? That has a nice ring to it... (chuckles)"

"Oh [censored]."
