I get kinda interested when respected players say they *never* do something. That statement in itself makes you exploitable. [/ QUOTE ] This is completely untrue. I never limp 72o UTG, am I now exploitable? I never limp reraise preflop. However I never open limp so who cares, it's not really exploitable. I never fold with 80% of my stack in the pot. etc etc, I could go on and on about things that I may never do that don't make my play exploitable at all. Also I may open limp sometimes I was just using it as an example. |

I was not directing my thoughts at anyone individual, but the jist of several posts that limping/open limping is *ALWAYS* terrible. BTW, I even put the never in ** notation to try to avoid a nit attack. Also, saying you never open limp and then later saying you may open limp shows an amazing lack of creativity - but I'm just being a *nit* |

I get kinda interested when respected players say they *never* do something. That statement in itself makes you exploitable. The issue I see with these three examples isn't the limp, its the lack of reasoning as to why Hero limped in each case. In the first example, I believe limping is a poor choice due to # of BBs Hero has, position in the hand, and stack size of those who follow. Also, you didn't seem to have a plan (folding is a default condition here, not a plan)for what to do next. Hero didn't say if V1 or V2 raises, I fold. If BB raises, I call with position or re-raise, etc. [/ QUOTE ] Didn't really want to post my reasoning since good reasoning behind making a play doesn't make it good, I met one guy who spent lunch talking about how overlimping KK very deep is great, and most 2+2ers would probably have been very satisfied after listening to his reasoning. Anyways, hand 1, I don't think I can open profitably, but all the players behind me were tight enough that I think I will get to see the flop with the blinds a large % of the time with a hand that crushes their ranges + with my stack, most people won't be opening hands that they can't comfortably call a shove with. Hand 2: Shove over charder and busto, fold to the others, I think they will be opening a wide enough range that I can definitely shove quite profitably, and if I were to open, I think they will be reraising with ranges such that I'd end up folding unhappily. Hand 3: Shove if charder isolates since people love folding getting less than 2:1, and love isolating limpers |
