I think they'll get more a benefit from such discussion.

SS is full of raising stations. They will not like a call or a fold.

Joe -- what's the worst hand you're limping with here? If Q9o is an "easy call," I assume you're playing Q8o and maybe Q7o? Q7s? J8o? T8s?

One of the reasons I like the split is because we can now discuss topics like this.

A raise is going to be good in some spots, really depends on further into the read of the limper and blinds. I raise such a hand here if the limper can fold postflop and the blinds will very likely go away.

You should be limping behind here w/hands like J7s, T8s, Kxs, 75s, off the top of my head in this "bread and butter" situation: you have positional advantage, a weak limper and tight blinds, you should want to get in there and play some poker god dammit! Poker is a game of situations and you are ontop of one here with good reads, so get in there and play!

limping along allows 2 more people into a pot that shouldn't be there.

when you raise, most likely both SB and BB will fold, and no matter what the flop it's going to be check/bet/fold.

next time raise and get it heads up, and then just win on the flop.

limping here really sucks.

If the limper goes to showdown more than half the time raising is retarded.

A decision like this probably doesn't matter that much. But if you were to play, I'd raise this - simply you have a better chance of taking down the pot if you miss the flop and you will probably isolate him
