So you suggest open raising in MP with hands like 55 rather than open limping?

I like to limp with these hands in these spots, even in CO and button, because I think it gives me a better chance to win a big pot vs a typical blind hand. With a ragged flop, that includes my set, I have a nice opportunity. Though I suppose I do not win quite as many small and meduim pots.

It's hard to stack someone with a set when the initial pot is 2.5BB as opposed to 10BB. Also, when the typical blind hand flops big, it's often a straight or flush. A limp will have more trouble taking it down on an A high flop as well. Raise all PP from any position. That's solid advice.
