Default Re: Bubble trouble

Why not raise preflop? K8s isn't a great hand, but when I am the big stack, I like to keep the pressure on. I especially want people to know not to even limp marginal hands against my blinds. Of course this depends on reads of the limpers (which you didn't give and shame on you if you don't know whether or not the limpers might be trapping by this point). If the limpers appeared to have been avoiding me, I would be more inclined to check. 2 people limp in (if I am reading the action right, Mr. 740 in chips limps so he is either terrible or really terrible), so I figure they probably don't love their hands. A good portion of the time I would make it 600 to go and see what happens preflop. I try to consistently let smaller stacks know that they are going to have to risk some chips to play with me.
