| Re: A hand to analyze. All thoughts welcome. I have limped in with that hand, but I prefer to raise with it. If your standard raise was $7 that is what I would do. We play $1 $2 no-limit with 100 to 300 max buy-in and I try to raise about the same with a variety of hands to keep people guessing (does he have rockets or big suited connectors? or ducks) - Regardless of how you raise - I would definitely raise with that hand.
You might steal the button with a raise and you might thin the field (yes suited connectors are good in a multi way pot but you have paint not 67 suited or 10J). Also even if the flop does not hit you, you have an opportunity to represent the flop and take down the pot.
I would not raise with K J suited unless next to or on the button, but I will raise with KQ suited under the gun. If you get reraised, you can throw them in the muck - (depending on how well you know the player that reraised).
