why make the raise when u can just flat call and accomplish the same thing? because of the tiny bit of FE from a raise?

i'd only see raising if i want sb to push with any2, giving me an 80/20 against that range

again, i don't think sb is good enough to fold to bb until i see it...at that point, i'll start flat calling any2 just to ensure no folding occurs...also, if the blind is about to go up before the next rotation, then i don't have to worry about that, as shorty will be put in by the blinds

Agreed...If you think SB is pushing over any raise then just call. If, however you believe SB will actually fold X% of the time to make a standard raise profitable, then do that. Bottom line is, just enter the pot and don't push whatever you do.
