Re: preflop raise?
I think, after reading lo, these many Posts by Buzz, that if you're going to raise PF you want to do it with many hands, not just the strong ones. And sometimes ust limp the strong ones.
Doing it that way increases your opponents Marginal Propensity to Call Your Raises Later (Pcyrl) and you get paid really well when you make a hand.
Of course, it also increases your opponents Marginal Propensity to Play Back At You (Ppbay) when they see you raise PF and fold Post, but that's life in the fast lane.
There's an inflection point somewhere where your curves for raise/limp % vs number of opponents (for your pulling and pushing hands) intersect, I think if you shape those curves right and play at that point you'll maximize your profits.
