Default Hand range for raise on SB when there are limpers

I searched a thread which spoken of this but i didn't find, maybe i badly search.

What are your generally HR for raise on SB with one or two limpers ?

If i had AT, AJ, KQ, AQ, TT- and there are two limpers should i raise given i will play the hand oop ?

I would raise against limpers from the small blind with any of the hands listed but it largely depends on the stats of the limpers. If they have 65% VPIP I am probably more likely to try and hit a hand before putting too much money in OOP but if the BB is a regular I will raise to try and isolate against the station. Your question is too broad to answer w/o a more specific situation.

depends where they limp. a single btn limper i prolly raise KJ+, 22+. an utg limper and some other limper, AQ+, 66+, depends how i feel at te time. sometimes ill raise 22+, sometimes ill just complete with 77.

out of your examples i'd def raise AQ and TT, complete with AT/AJ and sometimes raise, sometimes complete with KQ

Default Re: Hand range for raise on SB when there are limpers

It could be a leak in my game, but I am raising limpers with Axs, any pp, any broadway suited, A8+.

There are many reasons I do this.
First, I am trying to take it down right there. If not, possibly the raise gets me to isolate. Second, just with a c-bet, I get to take down the pot on the flop most of the time. Therefore, by raising you take control of the action. Lastly, limping with pocketpairs is no good, because you don't give yourself a chance to win big pots. By raising if you hit it, it will be well disguised and you have a pot to bet at.

Of course this is not set in stone. If I am getting called too much, I normally adjust my range. But I see no reason not to raise limpers with 22+ from any position.

being OOP sucks... the general mindset you should have is to lose as little money as you can from the blinds, b/c you WILL be in the red playing from the blinds.

i pretty much raise with anything i figure to be the best hand. maybe that's not optimal, but i just can't see raising only a utgish hand range against a limper or two. usually the limpers are just loose/passive types in micro games, so they're not going to be able to leverage you with position as much as some people might.
