Re: How afraid of limpers should I be
Early on in tournaments I find myself very entertained by the numerous limpers and the elation you get to see (or the conceit in more cases) of the person who takes down the pot thinking that they're playing good poker because they outwitted the four other limpers at the table or because they showed aggression after the flop and everyone else folded. Inevitably, I'm sitting at the table well into the middle and late rounds while those limpers are all gone.
Is that necessarily the way to go: waiting them out? No, but I think you can learn a lot more about them while they're playing that way then they learn about you and that information pays off big later on.
