Re: HUSNG Assertion: You should never limp.
I think that following an "always do" rule in HU can only lead to holes in your game. Sure some players raise or fold every hand, and do it very profitably. But that doesn't mean that it's never better to limp. It all depends on the type of opponent you're playing. If the opponent usually either folds or raises to a pf bet, but is terribly loose post and not very perceptive, then it would make sense to limp very often. This is an extreme case of course, but there are still many situations where opponents have holes that can be exploited by limping, even if rarely.
