Felipe,

You never fail to dissappoint.

TT-anywhere unless there's a raise in front of me (depends on the raiser)
77-99 - late position with only 1 or 2 limpers in front (only 1 if it's 77 or 88)

When I'm playing limit hold'em and am dealt 88-TT. I like good hands.

Seriously TT always. 99 almost always. 88 usually. Do you really need a why?

99, TT, always. 88 when it is folded to me in MP or later.
Why: cause they are damn good hands.

TT always, 99 middle, 88 first-in from middle pos.

I raise with TT UTG. 99 or 88 depends on the table, but I'll try to see a flop if possible to see it cheap or with lots of other players in, at any cost [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Generally

Raise TT in every position.
Raise 99 in every position when the game is passive enough.
Open-raise in MP with all of them.
Reraise with all of them to isolate in late position.

That's generally. But it depends [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I start with TT UTG and drop it by a rank as I move out. 99 UTG+1, 88 UTG+2, 77 MP1, 66 MP2, 55 MP3, 22 CO. Once it reaches the cutoff I'm pretty much no longer playing to have the best hand, I'm placing 2 small bets in the pot as a wager than the blinds won't call.
