Preflop and open-limping

[jskills]

I recently had this discussion with someone about open-limping. You're playing 2/4 and you're in MP1 and it's folded to you. No reads on anyone yet. You look down at Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif T /images/graemlins/heart.gif

why open limp a hand that u want people in the hand with?

and why raise it, to narrow your field so less players

[QTip]

don't get which side you're on. I'm limping to encourage more players.

[jluker7]

MP1 is to eary for QTs, you will get raped in higher aggro games.

I think you can go with all 3 option depending on the remaining players.

folding is wrong. raising and limping would depend on looseness/tightness of those behind you but at a typical table then there isn't anything wrong with open limping QTs in MP1.

i would rarely fold. whether i raise or bet depends on the looseness/tightness of the players left to act and how i am feeling on that particular day.
