Re: Bump!
I think dismissing the idea of raising preflop here is a little narrowminded. The problem with never raising preflop with this category of hands is that you narrow your raising range so much that the times you do raise it becomes very easy for your opponents to play against you. KQs would play fine against a limp calling range from one guy, and playing a medium sized pot against 1-2 opponents in position isn't a bad spot to be in either. Even if its slightly worse from an EV perspective than limping, I think preventing information leaks makes the raise worth it some percentage of the time.
