i'd raise but i wouldn't hate limping.

In all honesty the actual EV of raising vs. limping is not nearly as important as the fact that no one in that thread has presented a real argument for limping

Argument for limping is that earlier limpers could hold Axh, Kxh, AQ, or KQ. There's already 4 people in this pot before you make your move, and any of those hands are quite possible. I initially labeled this a "silly" raise in the other thread, but I really think the difference is marginal. Postflop play with this hand far outweighs preflop play in terms of EV. I plan to send a copy of this thread to the Capitol in DC for the next scheduled filibuster...
