hmmm ..... not all pp's are necessarily raises. You can limp many small to mid pp's and play for set value.

I'm afraid it's the age-old poker response "it depends"!! Is this a cash game or a tournament? Your table position also plays a crucial part in the response.

I am primarily a SnG player, and if we take AJ for example, I would actually fold this from UTG at a full table with low blinds. Yet, when the blinds are big, my stack is big, we're on the bubble and I have position, I am raising every day of the week.

So, in order to become unpredictible, suggestions?? raise poorer hands??? i dunno. Just need some brush-ups on some basics.
A little, but that isn't such a bad thing. When you raise, people should realise you have a hand, which should, and I repeat should deter people from calling with crap. However, if we play against each other and you raise with the top 20 or so hands, I still have to work out which possible hand(s) you've got.
