I am going to hell for this? Stupid preflop question.

Raising is silly because you don't have a great heads-up hand, you want to play multi-way cheap, and you have exactly that.

limping is what I'd do basically always.

But you're too tight, so folding is correct, I do it always.

I think I've read this sentence 12 times and I don't think Im any closer to understanding it.

It just means that I don't think you can limp profitable in this situation. I'm no good with theory, but I have pretty much experience from low limit SnG's at Full Tilt.

are you on the pipe? Limping is so obviously +EV its a joke.

I think I can find better situations to risk the limited chips I can afford to play with at the early levels. If I won any pots before so I got more than 1500, I can limp in this situation, but at 1500 and below, QJs OTB with 2 limpers isn't something I play.

i fold 'cause if i'm playing an $11 sng, i'm playing a hundred of them and i reckon i can increase my hourly by reducing post flop play and thus being able to play more of them.

I feel like there's some odd presumption that my post flop play sucks, and it umm... doesn't. I couldn't possibly imagine folding this hand ever in these games.

[durron597]

why is this thread still getting replies. limp >>>>>>>>>>>>&g t;>>>>>>>> anything else in a sng, even though in a cash game or MTT raising is best

[DevinLake]

I'm overlimping here like always.

Dids, what's ur usual game?

[Dids]

Devin,

Back when I was a real poker player I played a lot of 6 max limit.

You said in another thread you didn't know what ICM was. Playing draws with odds is fine in cash. In SnGs it's death because when your chips double your $$$ equity doesn't double. For example taking a 50/50 on the first hand is bad because you lose $10 or gain $8.25 by doubling up - the rest of the equity spreads out to other players at the table ($.25 each in this case).
