so, i used to min raise with PP because i wanted people
in the hand but not any old surprise cards.

i've recently been experiementing with limping in with them, limp calling if need be. Just because i wondered if, in the long run, this would pay off, getting more people in the hand.

Certainly there are arguements against so i'd like to hear them. But i also want to know if it's reasonable to take this line with PP?

I pump it or dump it.

Think about it, if you limp all your PPs then as soon as you limp, people will know you have a PP. You're supposed to disguise the strength of your hand, not broadcast it.

On some tight tables I will play low PP's from UTG, but I always bring them in with a standard 4xBB raise. It works better on a tight table because it's easier to represent something bigger if you miss the flop.
<@d0zer> how will you learn if I don't berate you harshly?
