Re: Not raising Big pairs PF
[ QUOTE ]
Why is it that some good BB players do not raise with their AA & KK on the on the big blind when everybody limped in?

1) They're not as good as you think.
2) Something about the limpers makes them think they will make more on future rounds if they don't raise.
3) This is the one chink in their armour.
Good players don't pass up huge amounts of equity like this. Not at small stakes. In bigger games with knowledgable opponents, I don't know. But not down here with the fishies.
Big pairs have to be raised pre-flop. It doesn't matter if you're doing the raising or you let someone else do it (limp/cap...whatever). They need to be raised.
