Default Re: Larger than pot sized raises from the BB

Why don't you just stop limping?

This tends to happen on hands where I'm either in the sb and complete because I'm getting sick odds, or I jump in on the button behind a few limpers with an A4s kind of hand that I'd prefer not to play in a multiway raised pot.

Completing in SB is fine, but try raising suited connectors like 89s or suited aces like A4. You take control of the pot, improve the chances of you taking down the pot right there, if you get called you can cbet and take it down, you can flop a monster and improve the chances of you getting paid off, and you disguise your huge hands down the road --ones you'll be raising for value.

Your game becomes too predictable if you just limp with weak hands and raise with good ones.

Now if you do limp and someone behind raises you limpers, make sure that he's a thinking player who has been raising more than his fair share of the pots. If is qualifies, then you have a good chance of taking down the dead money by limp/3betting because he's more likely to put you on a huge hand. Also make sure that your 3bet is large enough and that you're not doing it too often.

Erm just make sure your not completing in SB before doing this or your "thining player" in BB will know your at it as much as he is and widen is range.
