Re: Preflop with a poster. Theory and Practice
Against an UTG poster (lol), I might loosen up just a little. Honestly this situation happens so rarely it's probably not worth thinking about. Raising 56o next to act is pure spew though.
Re: a HJ poster who checks and I'm on the button, there used to be lots of threads in the full ring forums advocating raising any two, and when I played ring I did and I believe it was profitable over my duration. At 6-max, especially today, raising any two is probably not profitable since people overdefend and never fold. But, just as a guess, I'd venture to say I'd raise around 75-80% of my hands there, only folding the complete trash (this assumes reasonable blinds).
