I'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks like that, but limping lowers ur expected value for basically any decent hand preflop and on the flop.

Phenom, how do you address this type of player that Dippy mentions:

If the opponent usually either folds or raises to a pf bet, but is terribly loose post and not very perceptive, then it would make sense to limp very often.

This is the type of player I will limp a lot against. I can see an argument being made for bigger pots equates to bigger postflop mistakes by your opponent. Is there any other good argument?

When the effective stack is more then 20 bbs I dont limp at all. I min raise about 90% of my hands and fold the rest. I use to limp some and try to exploit my opponents pre flop holes but I found it just wasn't worth the effort. The very small profit I was getting wasn't worth the effort it took to exploit their pre flop holes. My preflop strategy is designed to cause my opponent to play as many hands OOP as possible while being as non exploitable as possible. I like to lull my opponents into to calling to many hands oop and then exploit that post flop.

Once the effective stack is less then 20 bbs my positional advantage has decreased to the point where I want them to fold. If I continued to raise 90% of my hands my opponent could easily exploit this. I will start raising the bb 3x and up while also limping and folding an optimal range based on my opponent.

Very good post. So you'll play super loose in position by minraising a lot so that it gives you an opportunity to play more hands in position? Against an opponent who calls a lot, can't the same argument as above be made? By making it 3x instead of minraising, you let them make bigger mistakes by letting them play big pots OOP?
