Re: The Fine Line Between FPS and Being a Robot
 

I don't mind being easily read at the low limits. No one is trying to read me anyway.

Why not just limp A5s from the CO? I don't see why I want to make the pot bigger when I don't have much hand. I don't flop a flush too often, and I don't want to pay a lot to draw to one. I don't care about stealing the blinds in the first couple of levels. They just don't add much to my equity when I win them. If one of the blinds makes some kind of gayraise, I still have position. Most donks on the button won't position-raise an open limp.

Don't get me wrong. I hate limping when the blinds are higher. But I merrily limp small pairs early if I'm fairly sure that I won't get heavily raised behind.

Is the benefit of having the lead enough to make it worth raising? Will I take away enough pots on the flop to make up for losing bigger pots when I lose?
