Default Re: What do you do when you can never open-raise?

Hi Grisgra,

What do you do when you can't open a pot? Play position. If everyone is limping in, and if you play well post-flop, then position gives you better implied odds and reduces your effective odds. Obviously, you bluff and semi-bluff less. You also bet more aggressively for value, because your opponents are on weaker hands, and also to narrow the field and punish the out-of-position chasers.

Obviously, you can't rescue every SNG. If you catch nothing but J3o at a table where you can't steal, you're going to lose. There's always another SNG.
