no offense but this is pretty results-oriented.
76s is a value raise that doubles as a image-enhancer. 93s is a spew.

Of course it is. That's why I prefaced it "apropos of nothing". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This hand has no equity advantage unless they are all playing random hands and even then it would be minuscule.
Small suited connectors are implied odds hands and need all the implied odds they can get. If you are doubling the bet pf you have just doubled the implied odds that you need for the hand to be profitable.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, it has no equity edge at all in this spot.
Even so, most 2+2'ers are 25/15-type players in 50/5-type games. Believe it or not, at live games in the 6/12 - 10/20 ranges, some of your opponents will actually notice this. If all you raise on a regular basis are big pairs and blackjack hands, sure, you'll get called down by idiots, but you won't ever get extra action on big bet streets like the person who showed down 7-high the last two times he raised will.
My point is, if you want to get action on your big hands, why not do it with a hand where raising is +EV to begin with? You're literally getting paid to enhance a loose, wild image. I call that a pretty good deal.
