To raise or not to raise, that is the question.
Ok, from pretty much everything I have read, it is a bad idea to call to enter a hand most of the time. You should always raise when entering a hand. I am trying to remember the adage I read that said, "Raise or fold. Caller never be."
Anyway, I like to play low connectors like 5 7 suited or 9 10 suited. I usually will not play these unless I am in late middle to late position. Sometimes I will play them UTG or early position if I know I can call and see the flop.
So, now for the question. Playing low connectors or even baby pairs, do you raise 3 X BB to enter? 5 X BB? Mix up and do 3, 4, 5 X BB? Or just call? Would you call a 3 X BB with a hand like this against a loose player?
The reason I ask, these hands when they hit, they usually hit big because someone will call the push.
