no no and no...by letting 6 people limp we can't read the board...2 6 10 rainbow could be 2 pair...also if we keep raising we will disguise our steals...finally with any luck we may get limp reraised...villan got lucky but he is on the wrong side of creative unless he is sure he will get raised pre...IMHO

Well, so far only two people have limped but I guess it's possible that no one will punish limpers and will keep a family pot late tourney....right.


Yes, it will be hard to play know exactly where we're at on a 2 6 10 r board but it will be equally hard for opponent as well. Better yet, if the board was A 2 6 and BB hits two pair, we're getting paid off big time. Risk vs reward.


I'm not saying that Villain's play was optimal...just that it isn't as bad as people are making out.

I thought this might be a somewhat interesting post where there was preflop action then an Ace or a paired board or a connected monotone flop with stacks behind.

Instead it was pretty disappointing. Should I get it all in preflop with KK in a tournament against an unknown bigger stack? hmmmm. Yes of course you should be glad to get it in preflop with kings 100% of the time here.
