JJ from the bb, always raise a handful of limpers?

Wow. That threads over 2 years old.

I briefly thought of this thread during a mid stakes thread about raising TT with 3 limpers.

linky

Another thread(s) to link to for a much better discussion, if you can find it, is the one with Feeney and Astroglide about AKo. There were 2 of them. Feeney explained it very well.

yes because sb is the same as bb? also before i make a post i should pour through every post on every board just to be certain i don't make a similar post as someone else?

i specifically asked about 3-4 limpers in the bb because this is the exact amount of opponents a hand like JJ does the worst against. in the sb at least a raise gives you an opportunity to drive one player out.

from sklansky's "poker gaming and life" page 79, titled 'call or raise?':

holdem: "8 players have called before the flop and you are in the blind. you should raise with 99 or AA but probably not with JJ or QQ. you raise with AA because of the strength of your hand and with 99 because you are getting 8-1 odds on your raise and you might flop a set. the problem with QQ or JJ is that it is much harder for these pairs to win by themselves if you give your hand away and double the pot size, especially in early position."
