limp-call . . . new way everyone plays big slick?

[udbrky]

I've seen this at both $25 and $50 NL. I'm not whining because my A-Q keeps getting busted when I think I've got the best hand, but what's with everyone playing big slick so passively pre-flop?

I've noticed this as well, I think it's a good thing though. Not only do they limp in but they refuse to fold once they've made TP.

And they call down a lot. Because AK unimproved is the nuts.

I had you for AQ.

Yeah, it's just crazy when you don't think someone has something that strong. I like when people take it to the river too.

Lots of people play this way at SSNL, so just don't play big pots with TPGK, and raise your pocket pairs: they'll just smoothcall or limp-call with AK and then when you flop a set and they flop TPTK their stack is yours and all the while they think they're trapping you.
