Well, I really don't know what you mean by raising for value, but I assume you mean is it +EV.

What else would it mean?

When I use the term "for value" I refer to my equity in the pot, not EV. Incorrect?

No, you are correct. Betting for value is betting to get worse hands to call, by definition. Opening with 85s is probably -EV and definitely not "for value".

So to clarify your position.

Suppose I am on the button with JT suited, and everyone limps to me. If I should choose to raise, I would not be doing so for vaule?

No. Not in the sense that other people use the phrase, no.

And in limit poker if I have the nut flush draw and there is a bet and 7 calls to me a raise would also not be for value? Because by definition a value raise is to get worse hands to call?

That's entirely different, in that a 7 way pot with pot equity of greater than 1/7, anything you bet is for value. Show me how a PF raise with 85s get's called by worse hands, I'll show you a value bet. Same delio for TJ.

In the JT suited scenario I think it should be obvious that my pot equity is greater than 1/7.

Load up poker stove and give the other 8 guys some limping hands at small stakes NL hold em. Take a look at how JT suited fairs.
