Re: limpers & button
[ QUOTE ]
I'm not going to comment on the hands, but I want to say that raising on the button is less critical then raising in the CO with a playable hand. At least limping should be considered on the button while raising is the only play in the CO. Especially against really bad opponents.

I was going to pipe in and say this but now I see there's no need to.
I like raising w/ all of these except AT which is usually a limp, although that decision can swing the other way depending on the quality of the limpers. If many of them are literally coming in with total random crap it's a raise.
With a pair of sevens in this spot I would like to accomplish a few things that limping doesn't do as effectively as raising:
1. I might be winning, and (presumably) many of my opponents are limping hands that contain at least one card lower than 7, (and sometimes two cards).
2. I want to build a lunker pot of I flop a set, and hopefully tie some people to it when they're drawing drastically slim.
3. I want a chance to catch a two-outer on the turn by investing half a bet before the flop.
Also, in an unopened or limped pot you guys should be raising KJs from any position regardless of the number of limpers. (And ATs and AJs)
