Re: raise preflop early position with low/mid s.c .or p.p.?
Two major points:
-Position does matter. otb this kind of raise often gives you a free look at the turn, utg it's almost impossible.
-When you make this kind of raise OOP, it's usually adding a lot of variance for little if no immediate EV. If you're in a game where people peel to 2-outers and such regardless of the pot then it only hurts you postflop as well
-Occasionally the next guy 3bets and everyone else folds, when they would have called 2 with crap
In other words, it's a high-variance, sometimes +EV play that can backfire if you do it in the wrong situations.
