What do you guys do at tables where the raises are usually weak (like 2-3xBB open raises or they only raise 2-4xBB even with multiple limpers before) and still garner multiple coldcallers? Do you guys still regard them as a raise and muck marginal hands like KJ, KQ if it's weak-raised before it gets to you or do you call and hope for a lucky flop to stack the weak raiser
Also, are there any adjustments to be made when playing PL versus NL? Are small PP not worth coldcalling late in hopes of flopping a set since your betting is limited to pot?
EDIT: Argh-- I thought I was posting this in Beginner's Circle. Sorry. Could a mod please move it?

play hands that play strongly in multiway pots
Axs sc's perhap and pps.
If the pot is multiway you need more than tp to take the hand down normally

When I moved from 25PL to 25NL, I noticed 2 things almost immediately. First, I could make the correct raise in EP with a strong hand whereas in PL, I'd have to raise the minimum and wait/hope someone raised it again. But it is much easier to winnow the field from EP in NL.
Second, be ready for the "ever so popular" push move. Sure, PL hands can escalate, but in NL, anyone can go all in at anytime. So you have to be more aware of what they might have, and how they have played in the past. Making the wrong decision (which I do with regularity because there is NO WAY they have ^$%#^) is costly.

Calling raises (even these raises) to play a TP hand is not worth it. You will lose more than you win. Stick to your normal calling hands with these raises. And if it is multiway, reraise even with non reraising hands like AQ. Thinning the field is good. Either that or only call with good multiway hands.
