Re: Any way to avoid busting out in this situation?
Sounds like we've got a new debate here... need some other opinions on this one! Let's forget about the 44 UTG. I don't think anyone is going to bash limping in that situation Now let's talk about the 99. The tournament was half way to completion. If you have 2 limpers and you are on the button with the 99, you really advocate limping here? Maybe I overvalue 99, TT, JJ but when I have these hands on the button I see it as the perfect opportunity to take down the 3.5 BB in chips sitting out there on the table. You have to assume you have the strongest hand, so why would you limp and let someone with KJx draw you out with a lousy J? I raise in this situation to at least 4x BB every time, and hope to have 1 caller at the most to battle with. It is relatively easy to play on the flop with position after that. Thoughts??
