Re: raise preflop early position with low/mid s.c .or p.p.?

In other words, it's a high-variance, sometimes +EV play that can backfire if you do it in the wrong situations.

I've seen players who raise with any pocket pair in any position if the pot has not yet been opened. I don't advise it, for the reasons already stated....unless you've got a couple of observant opponents at your table and you'd like them view you as less nitty, in which case you could try it now and again. If you do it though, make an effort to show your cards.
