Open Limping

[damaniac]

In a typical loose passive game, limping small pairs and small suited broadways (and maybe decent suited aces) is standard. When you flop a big draw you can pump it for value, and people will not charge you on the turn as the should when they should. Basically your strategy seems fine, mucking them in very aggressive games but they are too good to fold in a regular SS game.

The AJ/KQ debate has gone on for a long time. I think most people tend to raise it as a default, sometimes limping and sometimes folding depending, but I don't think it makes a huge difference.

Finally, to get your PFR up, you should probably be looking to isolate more if the game is tight enough to permit that, or else raise in late position with the aforementioned JTs/QJs hands. They have an equity edge multiway, so once you've got a multiway pot and especially position, raise'er up.
