a few thoughts about the preflop raise:

my pto tells me that i make 0.4 BB/hand with any A2 hand. now even if i take into account that a) i dont have a really large sample size b) suck at o8 and c) OPs A2 hand is well above the average A2 hand i think wining 0.75 BB by just taking the blinds seems to be a good result.

while i understand the idea of pushing vs pulling hands (or at least i try to) i would argue that with everyone folding to us in late position we need some kind of standard action with any hand we want to play. openlimping the pullings hands and raising the pushing hands makes it easy for villians to read us (basicly like only raising with strong AA and A2 hands). assuming you follow my reasoning we are down to
a) openraising any hand we want to play
b) openlimp any hand we want to play
c) openlimp the pulling hands and fold playable pushing hands

this might be holdem mentality but dont we open up our range in o8 depending on position too?
