you have given him the instrument that is his greatest asset; the ability to raise or reraise, and cut down your odds. that is not your asset that is his. furthermore, you don't know what that aggressive is holding, and that's his second most important asset.

Aren't theses 2 things true whether we raise or not? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Is not one of our assets that we have position but also that he doesn't know what WE have? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Also, you seem to be ignoring folding equity here. If we merely limp, we are giving villain a free glance at the flop with what may very well be an inferior holding. By raising, we may get villain to fold a hand that is currently ahead of us (Qxo, Kxo)).

Also by limping we allow SB to make a completion that is likley profitable getting 8:1.

I can see where an open-limp here occasionaly can be good for deceptive purposes, but to dismiss raising altogether (as with any move) strikes me as foolish.
