Default Re: How to play when folded to on the sb against a good player?

I'm limp/calling AA just as often as 79.

You can't possibly be serious.

By just raising the good hands in his range doesn't allow your opponent to exploit this strategy

Letting him play medium pots with a huge range, in position, with initiative is like giving him free money. He'd have to be flat out terrible not to exploit this strategy mercilessly.

If your opponent rarely 3bets I'm a fan of raising more hands out of the sb.

This is obviously a very important consideration. But if he's three betting a lot, why in the hell are you limping AA?

big jim I change my strategy up frequently.

I will definitely limp/call AA in the right situation. The right situation may be a bb who raises very frequently and overvalues the 'initiative' (which is really a make believe thing anyways).

against an opponent who 3bets a lot I would rather bet out with JJ+,AK.

The point is, I change my sb strategy a lot, one which works surprisingly well is limping my entire range. you can tell by some responses in this thread why it works so well. Many players play a raise/fold strategy preflop (not necessarily 3betting that often). This means that if I limp to the bb he will often raise with trash, and if I raise he will only call with a good range.

I can exploit this propensity to raise too frequently quite well by limping all the time. Actually, limping from the sb a lot works well against frequent 3bettors as well...but this is a little more complicated.
