suspicious limp?
A suspicious limp from a tight player here.
I think I would go all-in anyway as I'm running low? Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Tournament Blinds: t250/t500 (Ante: t50) 8 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: t13782 UTG+1: t2035 MP1: t19800 MP2: t5740 CO: t11595 Hero: t7275 SB: t6883 BB: t20780 Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG calls t500 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was t1150)</font>, 4 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in t7225</font> |

Seems standard to me, a raise to 2k would be ok if you're deeper, but I hate raising 2k to be SNG'd on the flop.

Re: suspicious limp?
UTG limp is always suspicious. UTG limp from a tight player is a timebomb.
Min-raise and fold to pretty much any action from him. |

A UTG limp can be a lot from medium pairs upwards. I wouldn't include the QJ+, KT+ type hands here. No one at the table has been really ative with reraising so doubt it's a setup? What I have been finding more lately is players cold calling with Aces which is not nice when you have AK, KK, QQ, etc. |

Re: suspicious limp?
Yeah i think the push is fine here, has he been TAG or just plain tight? Has he been open limping at all? If youve seen him open limp anything else this is even more clearly a push, sounds like he probably had AA here but i think its fine.

Re: suspicious limp?
but a min raise doesn't help you define his hand, he may just call anyway.
If I raise 2k (3BBs plus the limper) that is a large majority of my stack. |

Re: suspicious limp?
If I'm UTG here, the worst hand you are seeing out of me is AKo.
Options are basically push, fold, or call. I actually kind of like a call here, and really I have no idea why. This would be a hand that I play on gut feel. I wish I had better advice than this, but every option you have with AQo here basically sucks. |

[/ QUOTE ] I agree with that but although I'm not desperate, I am running slightly low. What UTG actually limped was KK. I suppose if I'd hit a Q, I would be getting all the money in there anyway. I will remember this line next time I face a tight player in EP like this "If I'm UTG here, the worst hand you are seeing out of me is AKo." |

They are either calling or raising. If they raise, then throw your hand away, and if they call you still haven't found out anything. From my experience you see the UTG player fold enough, or call with a pocket pair to make a push my choice. |
