6. limping on the button with a hand that wont make the nuts

[/ QUOTE ]

Well any hand can potentially make the nuts (7 deuce flops quad 7s), but I believe what he means is playing a hand such as 610o, where even if you flop a straight someone can flop a higher one.

But why the button?

I can think of hands like 23s, which can make the nut low flush, bottom two pair, etc, as well as 2- and 3-gappers that can't make the nut straight.

Should I never limp those, or is it OK to limp them from MP? I'd guess he's saying that the mistake is calling too liberally with these hands on the button, ie peeps don't limp MP with these hands but they will on the button.

ie the mistake is over-valuing position and calling too liberally.
