Default Re: BillyJex is a punk

The SB was passive, the CO would fold if he didnt hit his hand, that just left the punk. I cant take it down by betting the flop sometimes. I can take it down by calling a flop bet and taking it on the turn sometimes, and I can take it down occasionally by hitting a nice hand. Having a huge amount of chips against players with about 20x-30x is a great spot to be in. They don't want to play with a big stack because they don't feel short and would rather avoid confrontation than try and double up.

i see what you mean about putting pressure on the smaller stacks, but i still don't understand why limping here is better than raising.

With hands such as 9T or something i can see limping, but with 6-4o if im going to play that i at least want to cut down the field and represent something better with trash.

if your going to play these hands here, wouldn't you rather limp hands that at least a decent chance to win a showdown, and raise the ones that don't?? i dunno.
