Default Re: why NOT to limp preflop - 6max NL

[ QUOTE ]
Hi KRANTZ,

Your post makes some good points about why open-raising is preferable to open-limping on many occasions, but virtually everyone agrees that it is. As for your assertion that open-limping is always worse, and the evidence you provide, I strongly disagree.

In 6max, ALWAYS open raising is less of a mistake than open limping TOO MUCH.

One reason to open limp, however, is to let the blinds hit a funky hand that you can beat. Therefore, occasionally, I will open limp on the button with Axs or a pocket pair, because flush over flush and set v. 2 pair are hands you can stack someone with.
