Say you are playing a low-stakes 6-max game with three LPs to your right and two TAs to your left. You are on the button with a pocket pair. All 3 LPs limp.
With what pocket pairs do you raise (and why) and what pocket pairs do you limp (and why)? I know there probably isn't a single correct answer to this, so I'm mainly looking for opinions.

You raising a lot of hands to isolate the weaker players to your right, however I don't think raising things like 22-66 isn't smart in this situation really, if all 3 limped you have to be on the button, so I think 22-66 would be ok to limp, 77 and 88 is iffy 99-AA raise... at least that's my thought I might be wrong...

I will sometimes limp 99- down in that situation. But definately raising TT and up.

In the situation you described, you are either playing pocket pairs for set value (calling PF) or to have an overpair (raise PF). Depending upon the limpers, you can adjust your standards accordingly, which should be in the 8,8-J,J range.

True. since all 3 limp. You only raise with high PP. B/c if you raise that 100% sure all 3 limper will call your raise. If your PP not high enough you chance to win will be less. If your PP high try to create bigger pot for your PP value

For me it's probably 88 and up. No one's folding for one more bet, and I am in position with the best hand.
Best of all, it will probably be checked to me postflop.
