nice 1 year bump.

my basic strategy - if I don't think raising would be +ev I'd rather just fold it. it's good having more ways to win than just making a hand, and like was said, I don't want to have to balance by limping AA pre flop and whatnot.

but I have exceptions for longshot hands like a SC or low PP, such as:
too many ppl are post flop call stations
most are short stacks that suck post flop, who might overreact to a raise pre flop
my image sucks too much to raise pre flop, but I'll get action if I hit post flop
