On the button:
ATo - sometimes raise, never fold
KTo - usually call unless limpers good
QTo - usually call
K9o - usually fold unless players very bad
Q9o - fold
J9o - fold
JTo - call
T9o - 50/50 fold/call, depending on skill of limpers
T9s - mostly call, very occasionally raise
98s - mostly call
97s - usually call
76s - usually call

One the CO:
same mostly, but I might fold some of the weaker offsuit broadway (QTo). I might raise something like 89s slightly more often to buy the button

Pretty much dito to DMB.

If there are just a couple of limpers and they're bad and the blinds are tight though I'll raise more on the button.

Im guessing the other times are raises...

PBob, your preflop play is probably standard. Im too tight, too, but ive been told to try and thief alot more blinds and protect a bit more.

I don't get it. Why this love affair with JTo?

If KTo is a fold, why is JTo a call? Yeah, it makes more straights, so what. I just don't understand it, this hand is weak.

What I don't get is folding *all* of those hands in this spot. Hell, I'm a 16er and I don't even fold QT or KT in this spot.

Default Re: Simple LP preflop limping standards

On the button:
ATo - raise bad limpers but mostly call
KTo - call
QTo - borderline for me 3 or 4 limpers is a call. I'd sometimes raise two bad weak players
K9o - fold
Q9o -fold
J9o - fold
JTo - call but muck against good players
T9o - call 4 Is my rule for this one
T9s - call
98s - call
97s - 3+ call
76s - 3 or 4 is a call

I'd raise a bit more from the CO with the off suit cards like ATo of KTo
