4. When we have a hand such as QJ suited or 99, coupled with good position, are we putting in a small value raise after multiple limpers? Or is it better to just see the flop cheaply so as to not tempt a pre-flop limp re-raise?

I raise em 100% of the time, and it isn't a small value raise, it's a pot sized raise (roughly 3.5bb+1bb/limper). the cards aren't nearly as important as the position. my primary goal is to take it down preflop or on the flop, but position gives you a lot of wiggle room postflop. 99 is good for a nice pot unimproved sometimes, and sets are huge in NL. similarly, QJs does have pair value when played carefully, and you can play a huge pot when you flop a flushdraw with a pair or gutshot or something.

in my experience, with a hand like QJs especially, you want to be the aggressor, so you can play your draws fast, and you can know when you need to lay down top pair no kicker.
