Limping in, especially in SH online play, sucks.

See that is what I had thought for quite some time, but this was advice from a respected pro and it just got me thinking a little differntly. Why do you think limping sucks so bad as opposed to raising? I'm looking for a little game theory here I guess.

At these limits, you'll get called by all kinds of garbage even if you raise. The average player's hand reading skills, especially one who will be coldcalling most often, are dubious at best.

Raising when you have the best hand is +EV. Raising to eliminate other players who might have a better hand but will fold if you raise is +EV. Last but not least, I hate being called a fish, and fish limp in. I'm sure everyone remembers the "pro" who said "if its worth playing, its worth raising"
