When I watched John Juanda - all I noticed about his play at my Full Tilt Table was the first hr, he never committed all in, and he never limped or called preflop.

He played an average number of hands for the first hr. but note that he RAISED every one - I never saw a single limp/call -

Fish limp and call way too much. They also go allin and commit large chunks of their stacks too much with deep money.

Usually, a player stronger than the others at the table will limp in and call with position so as to get into hands with weaker players. In the first hour, the money is deep and there is a lot of limping, so limping behind with speculative hands is usually good.

I would expect Juanda to limp and call less than most of the table. However, I don't think never limping or calling is how most pros would play the first hour, and I am not sure if that is good play.
