Message: [QUOTE="stuventus, post: 987155, member: 27110"] Pre flop is there any point raising with 22-99 at $10nl? I feel its best just to limp for the following reasons. Aside from taking the blinds down there and then, the best case scenario is you will get just 1 caller. but then what?? Any overcard could kill your hand. Even if the boards low and you have an overpair, the caller might have a random 2 pair. They might just decide to call every street with JK and then hit etc, I know we are fave here - but if a T,J,Q,K,A lands i dont know what to do. At these stakes players love calling, and small pp (apart from 1/7 when you make trips) is so weak. Why waste money pre flop with a hand that is usually beat by the river? And also if you just limp and hit a set, you might have 4 or 5 people in the pot - a couple will have a pair or 2 pair and not fold. Then you bet it hard and let the chasers pay for any flush / straight draws. Or am I missing something? [/QUOTE]
