Hand is standard.
I don't understand the thought behind the advice, given by some posters to raise more preflop UTG, specially not when blinds are already high and we have about 20BB. Specially in EP i think it's better to raise less, as it really makes no difference for the following players if you raise 2,5 or 4BB - if they want to play a hand they will do it - but you have more flexibility with a smaller raise-size.

So why are we raising to 2.5bb? Let's limp. If they want to play they'll call anyway. Actually the real question that came to my mind after that post is "why are we raising?". I think one of the most important thing about raising big is charging the people who'll have position on you.

Not raising pf here is horrible.
As far as raising more to charge the people with position on you that falls under incorrect as well. This is due to the fact that the more you raise the smaller the range of hands that call. I would expect most everyone here wants to be called by a worse hand, no?
