Default Re: Possible trend, Anyone else notice this?

The last time I tried this I limped AA and 6 people including the blinds came in. I was so pissed at myself.

Lots of books, and lots of posts talk about switching gears.

you didn't limp with AA and get 6 more limpers LATE in a tourney.

I'll put good money on the fact that you did it EARLY in a tourney when blinds are cheap compared to stack sizes. (dummy!)

There is a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference between limping early with aces and limping LATE with aces. Did I mention the difference is HUGE?

This is switching gears. what works WELL in one phase of a tourney is a nightmare in a different phase.

So lets not generalize and talk about "limping with aces".

LATE in a tourney, I think limping with aces is a great play.

EARLY in a tourney its suicide.
