Another adjustmnet for a passive-LL spread game
is that pocket pairs go way up in value.

Often you can see the flop for $2 w/ a hand like
66 and then on the flop put in the first raise to $10
if you hit your set. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Versus the equivalent 2/4 structured game, big cards
are slightly better and suited connectors are slightly
worse. Position is also a little more important.

Lots of LL players rarely raise PF, so if they raise
to $7, you can safely fold almost everything.
However, if you are against several people that like
to limp in from EP w/ junk you should mix in
some raises to punish them.

I usually always bet/raise $5. The only expection is
an occasionally $3 "pop sweetener" raise on the button
PF. I usually only do this on multiway pots when
I have a good multiway hand that doesn't figure to
be the best hand. This gives away some information,
so I try to do this rarely. I also figure that if I'm
calling on the button vs. 5 limpers, the better players
can already narrow my hand down. This works best in a
game where everyone will check to the raiser on the flop
so you can take a free card.

SplawnDarts is correct about the pure "free card play" not
applying. But sometimes you can have a multiway "raise for
value" that can also have the benefit of getting you a
free card.
Example: you have Axs on the button. The flop brings
2 of your suit. One of the blind bets and there are
2 callers. If you think that a raise will be called
by at least 2 of the 3 and will not be reraised, you
should raise for value (you will hit the flush about 1 in
every 3 times). If they all call and the turn is a blank
you can usually check behind.
