Default Re: AJ postflop [22$ end-game], horrible?

[ QUOTE ]
registrar,

just wondering... i consider myself a decent tourney and live cash player.

although most people don't know this is the ONLY hand i currently limp UTG with, when i do, what would you be putting me on... most bad players have no clue.

i limp reraise if i'm deep stacked and someone raised from late position, and i fold to a raise from UTG +1 or 2, have to rely on my read from MP. short stacked i limp muck (which is the reason i know it's a bad play.) but assuming it's a leak i'm not willing to give up, how do i play on to maximize my earnings?

I've no idea. I only decided to play AJ UTG again recently. I don't think limping can be good as a default but obviously there's a time and place for everything. On some sites, well on Crypto, limping when someone in LP or the blinds is aggro and a lot of people will limp behind is a fine play. It's all about ranges and the range your are perceived as having. In that situation, if you limp and it limps round, aggro will push a very wide range and if you then shove, everyone else folds when you probably have a better hand than aggro but not better than some of the limpers. In general, I'm not especially happy calling raises and playing OOP with AJ, so I don't like a limp. At low buyins, you can limp anything you like because you get raised much less often but the higher you go, the more that the hands you limp have to be able to stand a raise and play OOP.
