raising hands in the bb (6max)

[10101 0]

I'm wondering what hands should be raised in the BB when there's no bet preflop. Specifically, I'm wondering about hands like KQs, 1010, A10,AJ...etc. I guess it would depend on how many players have limped in, but I seem to be undecided on what to do with the above type hands. Raising obviously will not thin the field...would it be better to just check here with those hands?Any suggestions?

Same hands you'd raise on the button after two limpers.good luck.

For the most part, I don't raise in order to thin the field. I don't know why every one says that. I will 3-bet to isolate, but rarely raise just to thin the field. The reason you are raising is the immedate value you get from your big hands, and because of your equity edge. I don't want people to fold preflop who will pay me off on later streets.- Zach

raise all the hands you mentioned. Only one up for debate is A 10 o/s, but its still a raise. People limp with crap in 6 handed games. make them pay, in case you didnt realise that is how you make money playing limit, punishing fishies for being dumb.
