Default raising limpers vs 3betting

is it correct to have different ranges for 3betting and raising limpers preflop? why? I have been thinking about this alot, and cannot reach a conclusion. my gut instinct is that you should raise limps wider than you would three bet, as the pot does not swell quite so much. thoughts?

Their limping range is much wider than their raising range, obv you have to raise their limps w a wider range

okay what if it is 2 different people: one limps every hand he plays, one raises every hand he plays what then?

also for me my raise range = atc, my limp range = junk vs passive fish

I prefer not to raise wide OOP, bloats the pot.

If your hand is better on average than the limpers range ; more importantly , if you would have called a button's raise anyway , then there is nothing wrong with raising the pot oop . This is especially true against a player who telegraphs the strength of his hand by his limps .

In theory , we should raise in position with hands slightly worse than average or better since we have a positional advantage . Likewise , we should raise with hands oop with hands that are better than average to compensate for the positional disadvantage .

So to answer your question , if an opponent limps with weak hands but raises with strong hands , then you should raise the limper more often than 3 bet the raiser .

This is a *great* theory question. Cross post to theory forum pls with 100% raiser vs 100% limper example.

When I get a chance, I'm gonna try to think about this some and see if I can come up with anything profound.

Yeah this is not intuitive at all. But both creed and cwar seems to agree on it so I'm not going to dismiss the idea just yet. Forgive me if I am misinterpreting y'alls posts.

Read Going beyond jam/fold. Creed's explanation is pretty good.

No explanation, but same idea (I think).
