In a structured game like limit hold em , the problem with having a raise or fold strategy oop is that you don't have any fold equity even when you do raise . In any case , I limp more often in situations where I'll be oop post-flop . So a hand like 10-9 may not necessarily be worth a raise pre-flop when oop .

Just to give you a little perspective . Greg Raymer has said in a past archive that he prefers to raise oop with hands that have an equity of 55% against a random hand .

Hands like : j-10 ,k-7, q-9 , etc .

However , you should be willing to raise pre-flop with some garbage hands to remain undetectable .
