Other random stuff since the conversation is headed that way:
In the 6-handed games I'm used to playing I don't think I would ever, ever open-limp either, so its raise or fold, with possible small blind exceptions.

Thought about mentioning that too, and this is my mindset for short-handed games. I'm not going to limp, and I'm not folding a pocket pair, so if the pot's unraised, I'm raising. If it's a live game, anyway. Standards for calling an early raiser are much lower when playing online, so yeah, in that case I'd tighten up and ditch the lower pocket pairs.
Then again, when I do play, which is rare, I'm playing MTs, and most of what I've read is about MTs. So that's another reason (the first being I'm not very good) to ignore what I say if this is about playing cash games. I haven't played a live cash game in quite awhile.
