Re: Questions about PPs (PF raise, variance, micros)
I assume that you are talking about a 9- or 10-handed, 100bb max buy-in games where the average stacks are 75bb-175bb, right?
I think you would have to answer each of these questions a little differently depending on whether you were talking about a 20bb game (like some of the live games in Florida right now), a 40-50 bb game (like many 1/1 to 2/2 live games), 100bb game (as exists at most online ring games and many 1/2 to 10/10 live games), or 200+ bb games (like at some "deep" online games and many mid-to-high limit live games).
There is a good secion in NLHETAP about playing "88" as an example hand with different effective stacks and game conditions in which sometimes "raise/call" is better than limp, and sometimes that "limp/call" is better than "raise/fold" for example.
Finally, I would bet that there is some number of short stackers at the table (say, 3 or more) that would cause you to have to alter this kind of play with low pairs, too. So, are you assuming no short-stackers?
