Open limping is the right move in such a resteal happy world.

Don't resteals entail a steal attempt, not an open-limp?

PF pot control. Think Negreanu, et al. The steal/restal situations occur postflop.

I've seen some people do very well raising or reraising every pot they play. I think it works best for Tight/Hyper-aggressive players in tournaments.

I don't play that way though. There are too many good opportunitys to see cheap flops. Especially in the early rounds. When the blinds go up, preflop aggression becomes more profitable.

The key is that he doesn't play that way now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I assume that is pretty much an admittance that his old strategy was not ideal.

[/ QUOTE ]The game has changed, if someone gets reraised there not gona call! It will be a push/fold move, the internet pro's has brought a new dimension to the game where "survival" wont take you ITM any more. Old poker books often talks about avoiding coinflips and such, but today you'll have to take them and should do so early.
