saying raising pre-flop is not +EV is just wrong imo....how are you planning on building a pot, assigning a range to opponents or creating an image? aside from that its just ABC poker which will work at all the lower levels
we dont just aim to win by hitting a set everytime we raise with 3s either so that shouldnt be your sole aim entering a pot....
dont know what "discussions" have happened for you to think raising at 4nl is not +ev but i'd suggest if this is what your 4nl play is based on it should be re-visited...

my wording was probably seriously bad. The issue with me raising 33 i think is that if i dont hit a set im often going to be multiway in what feels like an over-inflated pot. event if the flop comes 26Qr im not 100% sure im happy.
I do raise at lower levels and often balance this dependant on the table, so please dont take my limping with 33 or comment that i believe raising at NL4 is incorrect. On the BTN or CO i probably raise, in this instance im UTG.
Maybe im playing small pocket pairs wrong hense why im more than happy to discuss this.
raise these pairs 3x from early postion, no one will notice if you then change to late postion 4x/5x no need to balance, but you don't want everyone seeing a flop with you if you open limp
don't think at NL4 over limping is bad, but open limping is bad
as for the hand, limped pot - we have house - i shove - get em in very quickly

Hi,
If I'm reading the HH right you are 4 handed at this table?
I would consider myself on the CO in this hand and for me this is a pretty standard raise UNLESS you are likely to pick up 2 callers+ , if this table is full of calling stations then definitely look to hit a cheap set as they will pay you off well.
As for the hand I would shove. This is an unraised pot so we should be discounting most of the strong Qx combos as well as KK/QQ/JJ , if the villain has these we sigh make a note and carry on.
