I'm certainly not an expert, but...

1) If your hand is only worth a limp and then it gets raised twice behind you, your hand probably isn't worth playing (unless it's a decent draw like suited connectors in a multiway pot). If the only other two people in the hand are the raiser and the re-raiser, I'd dump the hand in a flash.

2) Same deal. If your hand wasn't good enough for you to raise, why would you cold call all the raises behind you, unless there were maybe 5 or 6 other people in the pot? If there are only 2 or 3 others in the pot with you, I can't imagine that your hand would be strong enough to be worth the money that you'd have to pay.

3) I don't really like the word "always" here. If you limp UTG with pocket 4's, and then the player immediately behind you raises, what do you do if everyone else folds? Are your pocket 4's good enough to beat a guy who raises preflop from such poor position? I would say that you're not in good shape. Now, if 3 or 4 people call the raise, I'd probably call it, too.

I haven't read my copy of SSHE in a couple of months, but honestly, if my hand is only good enough to limp with, then it's probably going to have to improve to trips or better in order to beat pre-flop raisers and re-raisers. Personally, I do not want to draw for trips or better against only one or two other players. To the more experienced players here, could reverse implied odds come into play here?
