why did you limp fish

Obviously I limped to get the best implied odds possible.

Next time you're in the shower you might want to check your body for scales and fins.

Pre-flop: (9 players) BALTOSTAR is UTG with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
BALTOSTAR calls, 4 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $200</font>, 3 folds, BALTOSTAR

I would now raise the minimum to find out where you are at.

This is obviously an OK time to limp. A lot of people think limping is automatically a fishy play, because they don't have the skill to follow it up correctly.

Implied odds is part of the reason, but also to see the rest of the action. Whether you raise or limp, you are in a sticky situation if you are reraised preflop. I would usually raise here, but limping isn't terrible.

Yeah, you win the prize. The booby prize. But we're fresh out of boobies. Will you accept booties instead ?

There are small minorities and there are large minorities. Small minorities go with large majorities and large minorities go with small majorities. What's so hard to understand about that ?

Putting aside the threadwreckers for the moment, one can easiy see that this hand is an excellent illustration of the paradox of Schrodinger's cat, with sufficient odds to play for set value representing the live cat and insufficient odds the dead cat.
