Default Re: Is TAG ever not optimal?

what do you think of brian townsend's strategy of never limping, period, in either full or 6 max?

Clearly in today's games there are situations that arise where limping (specifically over limping) is higher relative EV than raising.

Some may play devil's advocate and come up with theoretical games where this is not true, but in the current games it is most certainly better to limp than raise in some cases.

One simple example, opponent who only limp reraises AA or KK UTG limps in UTG, everyone folds to you with 76s on the button. Overlimping here can be hugely profitable whereas raising would be like burning whatever money you raised.
