muttley Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Deep stacked, I tend to limp from the SB with almost anything if there has been at least one caller before me. I reason that I'm getting 5-1 against someone who hasn't shown great strength and a random hand. The other day I doubled up when my 7,2 flopped a pair of 7's. Is this correct play or a bit reckless? Obviously, it requires that the BB is co-operative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Re: Limping on the SB I tend to do the same if there's a few limpers not with everthing like with 92 93 I won't other but will limp in the pot with most other hands. Same on the button although if it's folded to me I'm raising with 99% of hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubermonkey1 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Re: Limping on the SB yeah i limp with anything in this situation:ok easy to fold if you miss and with great odds on the call (at least 6/1)it can be very profitable when you hit something decent. the real trick is to not get caught up in a big pot post flop in a marginal situation once you have called. so i'm always wary if i hit top pair bad kicker or mid pair good kicker.i tend to bet out 50-75% of the pot on the flop if i hit something like that,if i'm raised i fold if i get called then i'm a bit wary:unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy the punter Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Re: Limping on the SB Yeah I'd be making up the blind with the majority of hands to be fair. When doing so though I usually have a rule that I need two pair or better before I get involved after the flop. Especially when playing hands like Q2x and the like. If you play well post-flop then I think this tactic is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Re: Limping on the SB Works well in a deep cash game. The are tourney situations where it's a bad idea. Very situational tactic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhornet Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Re: Limping on the SB Early in a tourney it is fine and I agree with the others, is a tactic I will often use. It can also disguise a big hand well for later in the tournament. Only when the cost of completing becomes notable compared to my stack will I stop doing this, as you are probably in push or fold territory.
