Should I always raise when first in (6max)?

Ok, so here's my second post. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Trying to improve my game finally - I've read around these parts that you should raise if first in at 6max and generally I do this, most hands I play I raise with when first in. Questions is - should I really be raising 100% of my hands?

Is it not better to limp with some hands to improve the chance of getting action with your hand?

e.g. - UTG +1 and i have 22. Is this really a raising hand?

Surely, a) i want to see the flop as cheap as possible and b) i want as many people in as possible so that when I do hit my hand (222) I can make as much money as possible?

The above logic could also be applied to suited aces (trying to hit the flush) although I do tend to raise those.

Thanks
