Default Re: preflop raise?

Well normally whether to raise a hand preflop or limp, fold.. I look at things from an equity perspective on that street. A234 has 35% equity in a 5 way pot vs random hands.. obviously all these people don't have random hands though.

Giving 1 A3, 1 23, one some high cards.. you're still at 28% equity in a 5 way pot. So any raise is still +ev.. I think an important consideration here is that a raise could also buy us the button, and possibly even get it checked to us on the next betting round.
