Default I feel like I should know this by now

6-max, 2 limpers to you in the SB with AQs. Your move?

How does your answer change when you have QQ/KK?

For me, this depends on the table.

If two very strong players have limped, and I know they are going to call my raise and outplay me postflop, then I'll just call.

Usually though, I'm raising here, as I also am with KK/QQ.

Granted KK/QQ are much stronger, but won't these same players "outplay you" postflop when you are holding those hands?

Flop is J94r.
Would you rather be holding KK or AQ?

I'm not totally outclassed by these better players (in fact, I rarely play against the very best due to differing time zones). I'm just not that keen to play overcards OOP in a raised pot against them.

Can you expand on this? When do you play and when do you feel the very best play?

I'm on GMT time so I'm never on really late at night with the Americans.

I was just thinking of a couple of names from the first few weeks who were really good, who I haven't even seen since. As far as I know they are still playing. Plus I've never even played a hand with cero, even though I know he plays quite regularly.

Fair enough. I guess I was figuring a situaion where you caught the flop, you meant that they might take it away from you.

That too.

That's why if there's even a bit of doubt in your mind about your ability postflop it's probably best to limp in. Obviously at the $100NL and below I'd advise raising this every time.

I'm keen to hear thoughts from others though..

you should at least give yours before asking about others' identities.
