LO8 - 3/5 SB
 
When it's folded around to me, what hands I NOT open-limp with against a sane player*? Getting 4:1 here, I have been limping in with a huge hand range (75%+).

Also, in this structure, should I complete with this same super-wide range of garbage after several limpers?

*Sane means he won't auto-raise me every time I limp

Donger,

Personally, I'm not afraid to throw my cards to the muck.

When push comes to shove, I still need a good two way hand most of the time to make money.

These mediocre cards just catch enough to get me in trouble.

Yeah, after playing some today, I guess it really depends on the game. I was playing with guys like who played like that (no offense) and limping almost everything in the SB seemed like the best play. My opponent in the BB seemed to not want to get involved on a low-ish board with a shaky high hand, and didn't want to draw to half the pot chasing a mediocre low. Since his standards for continuing past the flop were so high, I had a profitable bluff on most flops. Couple this with the fact that I'm sometimes going to connect, and completing with almost everything is a good idea.

Against a looser, more peel-happy BB is where you need to let your cards do most of the work, and the place where I need help. Then again, this is probably the situation you're talking about.
