Yeah you can get away with raising a wide range on most tables. On really aggressive tables I might limp if getting re-raised is likely.

[derosnec]

ok thanks. i'll get the hang of it once i start playing. just didn't want to make any big mistakes right off the bat.

[pureCra2z]

But he was tricky and flatted preflop, therefore he has to commit to any flop [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
