Button Play

[Santocubs]

I want to pick the minds of the very good players on this board. When on the button....and there are limpers in front of you....how much do you expand the hands with which you raise?

I typically raise TT and up on pairs, AK, AQ
On the button, I raise KQ, AJs, 99
Should I expand my hands even more?
What about 1 off the button?

suited connectors and gappers

if table is really weak tight any 2

just make sure your raise is a meaningful one that will drive people out

i am not a good player, but it depends more on the limpers than anything else.

will they call anything once they have put money into the pot, will they call all flop bets, etc.

Limpers on your button, depending on table dynamics it's often profitable to raise a very wide range here, ie all pairs, suited connectors, Axs, suited broadways, big card hands like AT+ (just guestimating), KQ, etc. Of course depending on circumstances it could be significantly tighter then that. Sometimes looser. There being limpers to your button is only a small part of the whole situation.

at one table today, i limped 36s and AQs on the button behind a limper or two.

at another table today, i raised 9Ts and AJo

A big factor to consider is the table conditions, how the blinds play and the play of the limpers.
