$55: 99, Back to Basics
Questioning some of my standard lines, just to stay sharp. What's your standard play here at the $55s+. (Blinds do not go up again before they hit you.)

Re: $55: 99, Back to Basics
Eh, it varies for me. I'll often raise this to 125. Sometimes I limp. It depends.
I do think it's easier to play for a raise though. You can cbet most flops that way. They'll believe you have the high cards if overs fall. If not, you have a nice pot to take down. I've been raising it recently./ Edit: I can't vote, because I don't always like to follow that raise rule. |

I like raising with position here, to narrow the field of overcards and to maybe get a free turn as well.

Standard limp for me. Raising just creates a bigger pot with a bunch of flops you hate. Keep the pot small and you can still afford to take a shot at a missed flop if it gets checked around.

Re: $55: 99, Back to Basics
I like a blended strategy - maybe limp/raise something like 60/40 or 70/30.
