Think you should raise preflop or fold it.

I'm for the limp, but I fold most of the time.

Why do you fold? Becasue you're not closing the action? Becasue with 2 opponents the implied odds aren't there? Something else? I ask b/c the very idea of folding this for just 1 bet PF is pretty alien to me, coming from limit.

I would raise if the limpers before my where loose when they limp preflop but ´fold if not.

But what function does the raise serve?

I dont want to write a hole book!!

You might win the pot right there preflop.
Or if you know the limpers before you are loose say lmp whit QTs or somthing or lowpiar you might win the pot on the flop whit an continues bet.Cant spell that ofcourse.

Thats enough.

lots of math floating around here lately. i'll intervene.

first you get to lay X to win Y. so you have a chance of winning a pot uncontested preflop. at these stakes generally that chance is low. so raising "weak limpers" is less applicable. still a thought.

then on the flop, with initiative of being preflop raiser ,you get to lay X to win Y, again.

all of this of course without having to have the hand you do.

the beauty of your hand is you can actually hit some good flops, giving you various equities according to the flop texture.

honestly though, i prefer limping along here. no need to isolate vs better aces and no smaller suited hands. just throw in the bb and play an unraised pot with a potential nut hand.

This is correct. I used to raise this here, but BK_ showed me the error in my ways. And he plays goot.
