Default Re: Limp Experiment

Playing these hands regularly in the long run cannot be profitable. You will put yourself in very difficult situations where you have top pair but weak kicker and will end up getting ganked by someone who limped with AJs or TT with an overpair to the board. Unless you flop a flush or straight or two pair or trips (all very unlikely), you cannot be confident in your hand and will end up losing more than you gain.

However, on occassion it can show profit (moreso at higher stakes and in live games) to deviate from the books a bit. Hell, even the books recommend it. But they don't recommend you do it that often.
