So what hands do you open limp here?
Once again based on a discussion with TstoneMBD in IRC.
You are in the CO and it's folded to you. The blinds and the button are pretty loose, passive and predictable. I'd probably limp hands like JTo and A6o here, I'm not attracted to the prospect of playing them 3 way for 2 bets when probably I don't have a big pre-flop equity edge, I'd much rather limp in and see whether I like the flop and try to outplay my opponents then, especially because they're predictable and unlikely to punish me with raises when they have a better hand than me, whereas when my hands is probably good I'll pound-pound-pound.
Tstone said he basically never openlimps here and prefers raising because, "raising secures positin secures momentum inflates a pot in position which increases implied odds and has a chance to fold the blinds" and some other reasons which he will probably expound upon in this thread.
What do you guys think? Who else open limps here and what with?
