Re: Some top players dislike NLHTAP: Why?

You know with two 'weak' players in the blinds, if you look down on J9s, then you should prefer to just limp on the btn, in order to give the blinds the chance to make expensive postflop mistakes

This is something that I am not sure if you are being sarcastic about.
This is a raising situation because weak player may call and fold on the flop, which even if he does this once every 100 hands, is higher EV than open-limping.
I am more concerned about raising a strong player's blind, because I am not sure about calling a re-raise, or what is going to happen when I miss on the flop. I will make more mistakes. A this point it is not worth waisting chips at all if you know that you will be out-played.
A loose player will likely call. If I miss, I can take it down, maybe. Or I can hit, hoping that this player will call with incorrect odds or on the hopes that I am bluffing.
