TT - raise and limp both fine, i prefer a limp.

AK - not raising is a big mistake imo.

AQ - i prefer a raise.

KJo - fold is best. i could see calling KJs, especially if i had closer to 2K, or if the limpers are bad players i generally want to get involved in more pots.

22 - you gotta limp. folding/raising would both be terrible imo.

T9s - i fold vs 2 limpers, would probably call vs 3 limpers, especially if they are bad.

Shillx: why do you fold AQ with this odds?
One has to be careful with just a pair lateron, but i don't think folding is the best option.

- TT: raise
- AK: raise
- AQ: call or raise, mostly raising suited and calling offsuit*
- KJo: fold
- 22: call
- T9s: call or fold, calling is probably better

*Calling in position in a multiway pot with AQo is a good way to stack yourself if you're not very good at reading hands and folding when you can't win a showdown. I'd say it's an advanced-level play. Raising is much more straightforward.
