Do you limp first in shorthanded? Why?
Which hands do you only limp (call) with first in, in a shorthanded game (5 or 6 players)?
And why?
My (kind of short) answer:
If the game is loose but not very aggressive I limp with some suited hands in early position. Like Axs, 89s, KTs. Also I maybe limp with middlepairs like 55-99.
If the game is very tight - or if I for some other reason people are folding to my preflop raises - I want to limp with AA, KK, AKs... therefore, if I think the other players are good and notice, I have to limp with some hands to protect these. Normally also hands like Axs, 98s and KTs.
I never limp first in with an offsuit hand.
Im thinking about starting to limp a little more UTG in a 6-handed game, but I first want to hear if someone else is doing it (I really think UTG in 6-handed is very different from UTG in 5-handed)
