The Evils of Open-Limping
I'm wondering what's wrong in many posters' eyes with open-limping? I can certainly understand not open limping in certain situations, like an aggressive table, but many posters here seem to be completely opposed to the very idea.
If you're playing a passive table (I frequently sit down at tables where if I don't raise, there will be no raise) and have a hand that'd be fine to play out of position if it hits, but you want to be able to throw it away cheap if you miss completely... why not limp from EP? A8s, for example. If you hit trips, two pair, or a flush draw, full speed ahead. Otherwise, check/fold and don't worry about it.
