How do you handle guys on "Sit Out"

[jurrasstoil]

They don't necessarily raise, they just limp, giving me 5-1 to call, but I have trash lets say 95% of the time. A raise would at least tell me they have a decent hand, but they just limp to get the freemoney.

It doesn't have to be the bubble, this happens 6- and 5-handed too.

Just punish the limpers as you usually would. The blind sitting out doesn't change that scenario very much.

I don't get why you think they are limping because they see free money. If they were looking to pick up the free money they'd be raising.

People limp because they think any hand can hit a flop and win.

u should just loosen your pushing ranges significantly, but not ATC, because they will all pick up on this concept.
