Do you guys ever limp in late stages?
I generally don't limp when I have 10bb or less shorthanded (6 person or less). But sometimes opponents just like limp too much, effectively reduce my chance of stealing blinds and whenever they do fold to me, I am either in bad position or worse hands. How do you deal with late stage limpers?
Example would be 6 handed you are on button with A7-A9, or K8-KT, all relevant stack 10bb, 1 limper and I would generally fold here. Am I missing some opportunities? Should I limp with good position? How do you handle short handed limpers in general? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Do you guys ever limp in late stages?
I never limp with less than 10bb and in the late stages. Its either push or fold. I hate limpers. They really screw up my blind stealing opportunities. I would want a much stronger hand to push with once someone has limped. Im especially wary of big stack or short-stack limpers. I find they will call my pushes more frequently once they have limped in. The hands I will push with depend on the stack size of the limpers and the number of limpers. My push standards revert back to EP push standards or better. If the table is consistantly limping I will wait for a strong hand and push. Usually get at least 1 caller and double up. The one thing I never do is limp along. The flop never hits me enough to make it worth it. Ive read some posts about pushing from the BB with limpers. Ive never done this without a good hand. It may be something you want to do a search on.

Re: Do you guys ever limp in late stages?
"I never limp"
"I hate limping" "I hate limpers" You guys should be considering all your options as poker players. There are many advantages to push or fold play when the blinds get huge compared to your stack size. But I believe there are situations where limping can be more profitable, especially if you can get involved in pots where you have position and good control over your opponents. These situations may be few and far between, but always consider all your options.

Re: Do you guys ever limp in late stages?
[ QUOTE ]
Could you provide some examples? Even if you have AQ and limp, if you miss flop badly, you have to fold to a bet from bb, right? [/ QUOTE ] AQ is too strong, I would push with that. I am talking about situations where you have between 7 and 10 bb's, and you have good position and are facing a limper and you have a marginal but playable hand (2 broadway cards). If you anticipate being able to limp without facing a raise, and you believe you can outplay your opponents once the flop is down, I see nothing wrong with simply calling and picking up more then your fair share of pots once the flop defines your and your opponents' hands.

Re: Do you guys ever limp in late stages?
Im always looking to improve and my strategy of push or fold is mainly due to my lack of experience. I dont always see the occassional profitable opportunity. I assume the strategy behind this is:
1. Every checks to you in late position and you bet and take the pot. 2. If you hit the flop you most likely have everyone outkicked. They probably would have raised or pushed preflop if the have a better hand. 3. If an A hits you proceed with caution.
