I think the deeper you and opponents are the more correct it is to pot every button you play.

Unless you have AAXX, KKXX why do you really want to pot the button everytime? I play the game for flops and step up my action from there. Of course, it is my opinion that being too aggressive pre-flop in ths game can kill you in the long run. I like people that raise alot, I just look for a playable hand and get ready for the trap.

if you only play against total post-flop spewmonkeys, then limping to trap is probably a fairly profitable, though not optimal, strategy. but against anyone with half a brain, failing to play for higher stakes when you have the best cards and position will just get you broke.

I am referring to lower stakes which I play....In higher stakes my strategy would be much different.
