Limped pot, TT in SB full-ring

AshleyC · #1 07-21-2007, 08:20 AM

Live £1-£2 ($2-4) PL game., full-ring. Game is very loose passive. I have a tight image.

I have around £300, but most stacks are around £150.

4 limpers to me in the SB. I have TT. If I raise here I expect to get called in 2 + spots. Is it more profitable to raise here or to just complete?

I don't mind completing actually. With TT how many flops are you going to like OOP? Even with just 1 overcard how likely is c-betting going to take it down on the flop against the opponents you describe? My opinion is that raising just builds a big pot OOP with a hand that is unlikely to win at the showdown.

If stacks were deeper then of course you would raise. Even with these stacks raising helps you win a bigger pot when you flop your set. However, if these opponents genuinely are very loose passive you can probably win just as big a pot without raising while saving you pounds when you miss.

Does anyone like to limp/reraise at this table? If most of the pots are limped this doesn't seem like a good strategy, so I would guess no.

You probably have the best hand, so I think you can raise for value preflop. As long as you don't feel compelled to continuation bet every flop, you'll be OK.
