reckless, ridiculous, or good application
I have seen BB defend his blind a few times. he doesn't like limpers. I figure if he raises and I come over the top I can probably get him off because he would be going broke. if he doesn't raise i have a decent hand to see a flop with and if he does call my push i still have a fairly decent hand. is this an ok line of thinking?

Re: reckless, ridiculous, or good application
yuck. why limp to begin with? there is just no need to do that. you have a very healthy stack, and can find much better spots. 3uo

A raise to 500 makes it nearly impossible to play the hand correctly unless you are lucky enough to win the blinds; and in that case a push would have won them too without any threat of being forced into a mistake. ...and that's why you should just fold.

Re: reckless, ridiculous, or good application
I would not open-limp with anything and the limp-raise is the worst play in poker.

The play definitely loses most of its value against a table full of loose-passive morons but to eliminate it completely from your playbook COSTS YOU MONEY. Please elaborate on your statement and help me to solve the error of my ways. |

Re: reckless, ridiculous, or good application
Would you limp-raise in EP with:
Q-Ts? K-8s? J-6o? 5-4s? 7-7? J-J? A-A? K-K? |

Re: reckless, ridiculous, or good application
I'm asking you which of those hands you'd limp-raise with.
