People here tend to forget the difference between Live casino, online, and club games.

Point A: Where is the harm in limping with 200bb's first hand? In my humble opinion my 5 dollar investment turned into a 800 dollar pot, which seems like an alright reasoning to limp here.

The players at my game are not especailly good increasing the implied odds of almost any two cards exponentially.

Point B: On the turn, there was a problem. UTG would have folded his two pair (he had AK) had I reraised. I told myself that if the board pairs on the river I was folding and I knew that if I raised they would fold. I was happy taking the chance and letting them think I'm either stealing it or had the flush.

I understand that this hand goes outside the boundaries of consistant winning play but I feel that sometimes especially when playing in a club with people that you have played with countless times before, you need to mix it up and make sure they know that you dont always move in with the nuts.

In the end, utg called with AK for two pair, cutoff folded a set of 2's and I won the hand.
