Re: Never Limp from the SB?
[ QUOTE ]
I usually raise from the BB if the SB completes. A lot of times it is a value raise, since I assume the SB has junk. If either player is reasonably short stacked, I will push. Yeh, the SB could trap with a big hand, but the SB is only going to have a pair TT or higher 2% of the time. [/ QUOTE ] Exactly the reason I do it. Not every time mind you, but enough to keep the SB honest. TT

Re: Never Limp from the SB?
The percentage of the time a raise from the BB will win uncontested is highly dependent on a player's table image, and his behaviour.
To make a blanket statement about 60-70% is not credible, like your raise.

Re: Never Limp from the SB?

[ QUOTE ] If he wants to push to win my 1BB, have fun. I do limp enough with very good hands where in the long run this is a very bad idea. [/ QUOTE ] It's stealing 2xBB, with ante atleast 3xBB. With folding equity it's generally worth my pushing for 12xBB. Even if I get called, I have decent pot odds. How many big hands are you going to limp with from the SB? Limping and stealing may work against certain players who will not play aggressively preflop or postflop, but in general I don't like it. [/ QUOTE ] i was assuming no ante. Much different with antes. By my 1xBB, I meant PF if we both have average hands, and you push, I am giving up apx. 1xBB equity in the pot
