Very Very Simple $15/30 Situation

[kidpoker22]

My father always told me when he posts in the cutoff he won't even look at is cards if the action is folded around to him. It's an automatic raise w/ any hand. That's his philosophy. I dunno'...I think it has some merit as it serves as nice advertising if you get to show a piece of cheese down.

This play is becoming too widely known to have much advertising value.

I am definitely raising with any paint and any pair, however. And a few others (T9, 98, etc.). Mostly I want to have a hand that might be best, unimproved, heads up so the lower suited connectors are not that enticing.

Even though you might raise any two cards (which was actually my intuition and is why I asked), it is ridiculuous to literally not look at your cards. You virtually always want your opponents to fold here, so there's no reason to let them know that you're raising blind. You are much more likely to get caller or, worse, reraised if they know that you hold random cards.
