Re: Two PP hands, 66 and 99
kyzerjose,
I'm not sure I'm following you. Are you saying you don't like a raise if the limpers will fold? For me that is the only reason I would consider raising. I either want to play the hand heads-up or see the flop with > 6 players. Please elaborate. As far as Canterbury is concerned, I get out there about once a week. I also play 3/6 and 4/8 for the most part. I've taken a couple of shots at the bigger games but every time I do it I get cold decked and I have to drop back down. I may be there Thursday night to watch the Vikings/Packers game. I'm assuming they get NFL network.

Re: Two PP hands, 66 and 99
When you cold call with your 99 be sure to say "well let's build a pot for someone" as you casually toss your chips into the middle.
Should you miss be sure to congratulate the winner and comment on the nice size of the pot.

Re: Two PP hands, 66 and 99
TripleH,
In your earlier post you seemed to be advocating cold calling rather than raising. Are you saying that folding is the best option here? i.e. folding > cold calling > raising? I really want to know what you guys think because I struggle with these types of hands. Keep in mind that this is a loose/passive table and I would expect a couple more cold callers if I don't raise. Thanks.

I love those games where everyone gets in the gambling mood and my comments were meant only to encourage callers, which you should welcome. Sounds to me like you have the right idea. I am also envious as I don't get to play live poker very much at all. Later.

Re: Two PP hands, 66 and 99
It depends?
How likely am I to get 3 bet if I raise? How tight are the blinds? How likely are the EP limpers to call two bets after limping? etc etc. I guess my default against a bunch of unknowns with a couple of EP limpers and a MP raise to my immediate right would be to call and hope to hell the damn thing doesn't get capped by the time it gets back to the original raiser.
