you raise SC OOP?

Agreed; that's pretty shocking... why would you do this?

you have a good hand to play a very big pot, you're the agressor you can take the pot on the flop with a cbet and (this is the best part) you take your opponents implied odds when they're deciding if they should call your pf raises.

think about it, if you only raise good hands, they will call with anything to hit a good flop and win a big pot from you. If you show them you're willing to raise a wide range of hands then their perfect flop might not win them even a decent sized pot. You force them to adapt to it in a different way, something they're not used to doing and will probably do poorly.

yes, it's good to vary your play... But you can't use that excuse to justify any play... and raising SC OOP just isn't the right place to show your LAG side.

it's not only acceptable it's a good play with deep stacks and good opponents. AA is a bad hand to have in a 500bb pot oop(unless of course it's a Axxxx board), 87s is fantastic.

I have to disagree. AA beats 87s; no matter the size of the stacks .
