Re: Medium Pairs and Marginal Broadway Hands - To Raise or Not to Rais
iponnet is correct in that in decent games, playing little pairs early doesn't do you that much good if you're ABC TAG.
I'd add the caveat you can raise or even limp 22 early if you have a well-developed LAG strategy and image, as you could be playing anything in that spot (a well-developed LAG strat includes the possibility of limping AA or JJ or 98s or even Axs early, so you know). For ABC TAG, middle pairs upwards (99+) should be raised in EP (everything should be raised in EP for an ABC TAG).
