Everyone limps. How bad of a hand can you have and still call? Is a family pot and the button enough to call with anything?

on the button you can limp (with tight non raising blinds) with almost any hand you would complete the small blind with and have fewer limpers...

the WORST hand i'd call ehre with is 87o, maybe even down to 65o if the players were bad and could be counted on for some big bets..., anything lower than that (and unsuited) is not worth it. similarly, non-bigcard offsuited gappers are not worth it...

-Barron

PS- this is just what i'd do and is not necessarily close to correct.

I don't buy this at all.

why would you not play any connected cards down to 45o

C'mon, man. The power of the button! And I'm a nit.

The button is nice, but you still should be playing fewer hands. Twice the upfront cost and half the implied odds. The button isn't quite that powerful.

Do exactly what Ed Miller says - all kinds of suited cards, but offsuit not so much. Of course any pair is playable.

Definitely not. In fact, I never understand it when people start off a hand description by saying "6 limpers to me in late position, so I limped with J7o..."

Position doesn't mean that much in these family pots.

Would any ace be playable in this situation? eg. A6o. I always muck them in this spot even if whole table has limped (or especially then)

I am tempted to play A-rag to 5 in these spots but definitely not A6-A8
