How does loosening your raising requirements early get you more respect later?

I'm not loosening my raising requirements. I am pushing with two pair on the flop. I know I am being called here but I think I am ahead. If I am ahead and I win the hand then it gives more credibility to future pushes. In earlier stages of the game I would not be sticking all my chips in this spot.

I think i would have played the hand pretty much the same way. You have bottom two pair in a sit and go. I think your getting called alot of the time by people holding jacks you might even get some clown calling you with 10 10.

I think its all down to personal prefrence really whether you call or not from the SB. However if you plan to take these pots down you have to be observant to what is going on and confident that when you do fire at the pot you take it down rather than having to show your six high.

'hyper-aggression' does not include loosening your rasing requirements?

From your initial post I get the impression that your opening up a lttle bit too early.

Most of your pushes later will be pre-flop, I don't see how betting your hand here gives you any more credibility. Slow playing bottom 2 pair is a weak play and rarely the best option.

I'm folding this most times preflop. If I do call, then I go bust too.

Interesting,
let's assume that you have won the hand and your 62 went to showdown.

Are you going to get a respect for limping with 62?
don't think so.

You say somewhere that perhaps if you would flat call on flop and bet turn you could perhaps win the hand.

This guy limped with J2s, so i doubt it he would fold to your bet on the turn anyway, so yes you would go broke anyway.
