Preflop raises in NL games

[oakley77]

No offense, but from your other post about u being better than most players and then saying that you don't raise with AK, AQ and KQ... gives me the impression that you don't grasp the fundamentals of preflop play too well just yet.

AK, AQ, KQ do not play well in big multiway pots and u want to raise to thin the field and give yourself a chance to win preflop as well. It also loosens up your image so you will get action on your bigger hands. If you only raise JJ-AA, only idiots will play with you.
