Then why not play every hand on the button that you don't feel like raising for a limp?

What if the blinds raise? Most ranges that a blinds would raise from invalidate an A9 hand. And anyway you're giving the blind a free flop with any 2 so you get no info there.

I can feel A9 suited, (I think suited makes a huge difference here), but I think opps fold to your A9o on the flop here only when you have them beat, and the pot only gets large when you are beaten heavily.



Do you feel me? Basically, you're waiting for the flop to raise a very small pot, when the pot is exactly the same preflop, and you don't want to encourage multi way pots or telegraph your hand's weakness. That gives you a little momentum to C-bet going into the flop.
