Default Re: Question for the LAGs

I occationally open limp, but it is very rare.

Here are a couple of times when I consider it:

a) On the button with a hand like Axs, SC, small PP, rags
Although I rarely do it, I like doing it against passive players, because you can get cheap steals against the blinds when they check to you on the flop. People won't usually play back at you much in unraised pots, and it's cheaper than a pre-flop steal.

b) EP with small pocket pairs and SCs at a passive table.
Pretty obvious.

c) EP with big pocket pairs AKs at an aggressive table
LRR is fun, although I don't do it very often.

d) EP with small PPs and SCs at aggressive table
Sometimes, you can find sweet situations for a squeeze play. Especially good when there's an over-agro player in the blinds.

e) Open completing small blind with passive BB
Lots of hands that are too good to fold getting 3:1, but not really worth playing in a raised pot OOP.

f) When there's a short stack that's pushing a bunch of hands, with big pairs, AKs.

But yeah.. I almost never open limp.
