Two hands from the book MidLimitHP

[sthief09]

this is one thing I don't really understand about HPFAP. how does limping up front in a tough game make things better than raising? it only increases the chances you're out of position without initiative. at least if you're 3-bet, you know you're looking at a legitimate hand and can play accordingly. if you limp and are raised, it could easily be a light isolation raise by someone who knows you're a tight player who will fold his AJo or KQo on teh flop if he missses.
