Of course you have to respect EP raises at least as much as you should do in limit.

However, even if Its not realy smart to call EP raises with hands like AT, AJ, KQ or even AQ, it can be really profitable to call them with mid suited connectors and low and mid PP.

Of course your implied odds must be really hight to make those play profitable, and you also have to know who you are up agaist. Most poeple cant fold a high PP or a AK if they hit even if the board is paired or a str8 or a flush is possible.

you have to take advantege of these poeple and use your position to make them pay when tou hit hard.

Same for poeple who will bet the flop hard even with a busted AK. Often with mid suited con. you will have a pair or a strong draw or both if they miss AK or AQ.

Of course you have to be very carefull and play them really good post flop, but those hands are my favorite to call EP raises. Of course AA and KK arent bad either , but if we rule them out, mid PP and SC are the best IMO.
