Specific preflop plays
I see a lot of incongruity among posts and posters on how these are played.
Assume that one of the limpers is a loose but somewhat decent player who plays well postflop. Any other limpers are loose passive and bad. Also assume blinds are loose and that BB will call a raise approx. 75% of the time to see a flop. |

OK, who is folding ATo on the button with three limpers? 'Splain yourself.

I really hate KTo. Can somebody convince me to play this?

Don\'t hate-evaluate
Generic hatred of KTo? You made no mention of your position or who you are playing against. I find KTo to be very playable against typical LAP tables, particularly from later positions. Since I play live, I do not have poker stats to back my feel, but I would play it all night to see the flop. OF course, after the flop, there could be lots of reasons to fold, but I think seeing the flop with those cards will be EV+ against all but Rock or TAG dominated tables.

KTo in MP3 after 3 limpers. [/ QUOTE ] It was actually the mention of the one solid postflop player that changed my call to a fold. |

"A loose but somewhat decent player". I think i'm still ahead of his range, and playing better post-flop. Some information is missing here. Who limped first, what position did they limp from? Put the "loose but decent" player UTG limping in first, and I will fold KTo. If he's limping in MP behind a fish, then I call. |
