Default Re: 20 on the button...worst limp, worst raise...

[ QUOTE ]
Worst limping hand is probably 76s and JTo. Why? Because 76s is a great hand to crack an overpair with if UTG is getting tricky trying to LRR aces, and of course it has fine equity in position against all other limping hands. JT will have similar implied odds if it flops a nut straight draw, especially because its straights will involve cards that make other people 2 pair/set/TPTK type hands. Against these players I'd probably stay away from speculative hands that I'd play in other situations (against looser, worse players) like T8o, 97o, etc.

I'd also limp 22 here. Not sure what you mean by worst hand -- 76s is "worse" than JTo but it might have higher EV.

The worst hand I'd raise is probably JTs, maybe QJs.

the reason i posted it was b/c the two tight players up front both limped.

i don't know about raising QJs here. typically that is easy but this is probably exactly what i had in mind (and KJs etc.) when i was thinking "what would i need to raise these two tight players ?"

limping sure, all pairs, suited connectors etc.

i dont' see why you'd draw the "line" at 76s and not play 65s or 54s??
