It says you should open limp hands like A6o and 98s on the button. I play 1/2 6 max and I would argue that most players there play their blinds very loosely. Someone care to convince me why raising is still better?

if the blinds raise, you're forced to flop a bad flop and have no idea where you stand. If you raise, you force them to check-fold flop, or you can peel one off on turn on a bad board.

Not raising a hand like a6o on the button against loose blinds is silly. You have the best hand a vast majority of the time, you take the initiative, and you have the best position.

[/ QUOTE ] This is exactly my reasoning. I figured I was overlooking something. God forbid a 2+2 book gave bad advice. I've seen many posters say that they never open limp. There must be a sound reason for this apparent disagreement. |

It's not necessarily bad advice. There is a difference between terrible loose passive weak players calling everything out of the blinds and loose aggressive possibly tricky players over defending their blinds.
HPFAP is often not completely applicable to our games (Party 5-10 and below, I have no experience above) as our opponents are almost always either very straightforward or WAY too bluff happy and rarely do they play well post flop. Hell, most of us posting here probably don't play that well post flop, myself included. |
