What is HSNL? Is 10/20 HSNL? At 10/20 there are many players who limp a lot and win. For example, FSUPlayer (Old Screen Name Howard_Roark) was 31/14 for 5-6 handed in my old database and he is a 3 ptbb/100 winner over his last 200,000 hands.

I rarely open limp, but I definitely overlimp fairly often.

There are spots where it makes sense to overlimp (closing the action, for one, after numerous limpers). But open limp? Like you said, rarely.

Re: beating HSNL - table selection, baby. If you're at a table with the 4 dragons you are not going to beat them by limping, unless it's done in a veryyy tricky fashion. And just because FSU is 31/14 does not necessarily mean he's limping a lot, right?
