From a hand swap:
Is it better to raise or limp first in after one limper w/ suited connectors, small pairs?

1 fold, MP calls, Hero ?

Do you play differently here with a small pair? What if limper is UTG and you're MP?

My default is to raise with hands I would play anyway. How the blinds play is also crucial.

I would raise J9s. I don't mind if the blinds are loose since the hands plays good multiway.

With this hand I raise all limpers unless the player has an AFq of less than 40 and PFR less than 10.
