Re: To Open Limp or to Open Raise
If the stack sizes and game conditions are such that if you raise in EP with a hand like 88, then you can expect to be reraised a high percentage of the time an amount that is too much to call for set value (putting you in a push or fold situation), then limp/call is probably better than raise/fold or raise/push.
Obv. if the stacks are very short, raise/push or even jsut push with 99 is probably best.
And with very deep stacks you can raise/call and still have good implied odds allowing you to call for set value.
