A couple of common preflop situations. If you say raise, include also how much to raise to.

For all hands, assume:
50NL, 6 players
100bb stacks

Hand #1: Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO raises to $2, Button calls, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>


[/ QUOTE ]

I normally call here but raising to $8-$10 is also good.

Hand #2: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO calls, 1 fold, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>


[/ QUOTE ]
I generally call but I've been thinking about raising this type of hand from the sb after a late position limper as their range is often quite wide and the BB could have any two cards, if CO likes to limp a lot but won't always call a raise then I'd raise to $2.50.

Hand #3: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 folds, CO raises to $2, 2 folds, <font color="red"> Hero? </font>


[/ QUOTE ]
Fold almost always, I don't like playing this out of position to a raise, if I did play it I would reraise to $8.

Generally fold, call sometimes, if CO had called the raise I'd be more likely to call.
