No limping in 6 max?
 

Just wanted to get a majority consensus on limping UTG in 6max with small pairs (55-). I assume most would say you should never limp first in in 6max.

I am curious as to whether, when people are raising with these pairs UTG in 6max they are calling a pot size 3bet or instafolding everytime? Is it entirely/partially opponent specific for you? Would anyone consider 4betting? If you are folding to the 3bet do you feel you lose value by not getting opportunity for a set? Is the best play an 80/20 raise/fold type scenario?

Please add in any other variables/ideas I may have missed. Cheers.

don't open limp. raise and fold to sizable 3bets unless you're against some lagtard or just feel like making a nit cry.

I am a super nit and I never open limp

tbh, I never limp period. It's raise or fold for me usually.

There are times to limp but it's usually best not to.

If it's folded to me with 33 OTB, for instance, and one or both of the blinds are very very short I'll sometimes limp. I'll also limp behind a bunch of other limpers sometimes with small pairs, suited connecters and suited aces and kings.

I can't think of many other occasions, though.

Honestly, though, with all the aggression in todays 6max games, I wonder if there isn't a strategy for limp/re-raising from time to time with big hands and in favorable squeezing spots with small pairs/suited connectors.

Maybe it's really nitty of me but I fold 55- UTG in 6max. Unless it's a really loose table
