Default Re: Heading off a potential problem

I don't think its really that big of a deal. I don't think I've seen a flop outside the blinds in the first few levels(or so) without a pocket pair, and thats 1/17, or right around 17/289. Once blinds get large enough, you don't want to see flops at all. Its just steal steal steal. I think the only time I actually see a flop is when I'm calling a raise intending to push whatever comes. Oh, and slowplayed pockets when its shorthanded.

I'm right around 12% of flops seen outside of blinds. A big part of that is most of my hands are steal or fold. Limping only early with a pocket pair hoping to double through.

Of course, I'm no pro, playing 10+1 NL SNG as well. It really depends on your style. imo though, i think limping, especially at early levels will get you killed. you don't want to be facing an all in holding AQ on a Q97 flop. I'd much rather be the person holding 77 and pushing someone with AQ in on that flop =D
