Default Re: The Evils of Open-Limping

Open-limping multiway hands from EP is fine. Limping from MP or LP after a few callers is fine if your cards are not strong enough to come in for a raise. However, open-limping from M-LP is almost always a mistake. This is because the types of hands that you would tend to limp will be strong multiway hands. Once it is folded to M-LP, it is no longer going to be multiway. Hence you should try and raise for value and to put yourself in a better position to win postflop (as long as the hand has SH value) or fold if it has only multiway value.
