Default Re: i open limped on the button

equity (%) win (%) tie (%)
Hand 1: 38.1372 % 37.18% 00.96% { 22+, A2s+, K2s+, Q2s+, J2s+, T3s+, 95s+, 85s+, 75s+, 64s+, 54s, A2o+, K2o+, Q5o+, J7o+, T7o+, 97o+, 87o }
Hand 2: 31.8687 % 30.90% 00.97% { random }
Hand 3: 29.9941 % 29.65% 00.35% { 22 }

That represents a sb who calls with about 60% of his hands and a BB who calls 100%. Is this reasonable?

So if you raise, 40% you get it headsup against a random hand with position which you have about 50% equity against. This guy will make mistakes postflop by peeling the flop/turn and will not put you to the test much. Pretty sweet situation.

60% of the time that you raise the pot will be 3way and you will have about 29% equity. You'll be at a slight deficit but will have initiative and will still be able to profit from postflop mistakes made by your opponents (their mistakes will be less than if you had limped though).

This does not take into account the fact that you will still get 3bet preflop by premium hands.

All in all, I think as long as your loose opponents are passive and not aggressive you should go ahead and raise. If they are loose and aggressive, I think you should fold.

Is this a sb that calls 100%?
