I am new to Poker. Just learning (Holdem).
I read that it is bad tactics to limp in pre-flop.

You should either raise or fold based on your hole cards.
But if the big blind (minimum bet to see the flop) is small why not wait and see the flop?
Also I read that raising pre-flop is to scare off other players so you increase your odds of winning.
But if your hole cards are good isn't it good if other players stay in so at least there will be more money in the pot if they all match the big blind?
Also is it not better to see the flop so you have better idea of how good your hole cards are in the flop context before betting big?
