$114: Good spot for an action limp?
 

Big stack in BB is solid and aggressive. Do you think this is a good time for an action limp, or do you like just raising it?

the bb porbably knows you so he is gonna proceed with extreme caution if you limp.

what is your read on sb/button. i assume you are thinking of limping to encourage one of these guys to raise/push preflop? i think stacks are pretty good for this.

if they fold and you give the bb a free flop you probably take the pot down with a 275 chip flop bet. i doubt a solid bb would ever play back at you postflop with a hand that you beat.

i've never action limped here but i like it. a preflop raise to 2.5x is gonna fold out a lot of stuff that a laggy button/sb might push if you limp (assuming they are not very good)...

What about just shoving? JJ is really strong but doesn't allow BB to play back at us.

I really like this. You're basically HU against the BB. What would you do if you were SB here?

I raise here 100% of the time. Dont know what an action limp is but I think its a bad idea.

Really? I hate this. Why risk 20bbs with JJ on the bubble. Do we suspect BB pushing any 2 when we raise? If he is we are raising too much or he is making a mistake.

Re: $114: Good spot for an action limp?
 

standard raise. dont shove. dont limp.dont fold. this forum has gone to crap.

Re: $114: Good spot for an action limp?
 

So, when you "standard raise" in a $114 against a solid/aggressive regular, what do you do when the big stack shoves? Insta-call?

Re: $114: Good spot for an action limp?
 

Pushing is certainly profitable with your hand, limping looks good too.

Re: $114: Good spot for an action limp?
 

Is JJ strong enough to want to lose the FE against the shorties - or is our main concern here that if we raise, big stack is likely to push if the shorties fold, knowing that we probably can't call?

The other two are both around the 10BB mark and bigstack can't afford to call loose, so I'd usually push - but I'd like to understand more about this idea. I'm not entirely sure what we want to happen, and why.
