$60 Stars: On Button facing one limper holding wired 6s.
 

This a little awkward because I have a decent stack and position but holding a small pair.

What's your line?

UTG (t1650)
UTG+1 (t3875)

I usually just call this, but I am a nit.
If the limper knows that and likes open-limping I am raising this.

off-topic, but how come nobody plays the 32/3s on stars?

i know ive played some 27s with you kevstreet, and obv you play the 60s too. but the 32/3s are NEVER filling.

why?

and i dont see anything other than calling being very good at all

Hmmm very good question. I guess I never really thought about playing the $35s. There isn't much difference between the percentage of rake between $60s and $35s so I don't have an answer for you. Thanks for the suggestion, perhaps I'll start playing them [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Oh and thanks for the comment on the hand.

You got a hand, raise it!

You will become too predictable, if you only raise AA. I recommend a raise to 300, maybe 350.

Taking control of the hand (betting impetus) and raising seems like a viable option, I'm surprised you're the only one that feels this way.

I am an uber nit and fold.

Kevstreet:

I limp here. Plenty of chips. Position is too early for raising. Can't really stand any reraise. limp.

Straight Flushes,

The hand turned out to be super standard:
