I'm a major LAG

I really think that you have to raise here, namely to be sure that SB doesn't get in cheap since he's the only one at the table who can knock you out.

You have a pretty strong hand for this stage of the tourney and if you're playing for first, I don't see how you can nont raise here, much less fold.

Worryin about the SB is like the least concern in my book.

I think this is a pretty interesting spot. But I think if you are that spooked about his limp, all the more reason to limp behind with something that can flop big. Its likely his limp is spookey to other so you can most of the time be pretty sure that no one behind you will take a shot at the pot with nothing... You also have the right to call an AI after you limp if this is something to worry about.

i agree this is a weird spot that comes up when someone you know is fairly solid does something off like this and you are faced with this situation.

what are you all doing with TT-QQ/AK here?

I was discussing this a few minutes ago on AIM with Ozzy 87/bigslick789. He agrees you can't fold in this spot, but interestingly he thought a push was the best play. I wouldn't make that play, but what do you think?

(08:43:47) N 82 50 24: what do you think about that play by Ian J
(08:44:00) N 82 50 24: i think i'd limp for sure
(08:44:04) N 82 50 24: i can't believe he folded
(08:44:16) N 82 50 24: i might raise, but i dunno
(08:44:21) N 82 50 24: prob just limp
(08:58:23) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: interesting spot
(08:58:34) N 82 50 24: u limp?
(08:59:11) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: he doesnt know enough about his opponent to fold
(08:59:23) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: i like to either limp or go all in
(08:59:27) N 82 50 24: yea, i mean, i think a fold is bad
(08:59:31) N 82 50 24: i don't like to push
(08:59:38) N 82 50 24: risking a lot
(08:59:38) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: why not?
(08:59:40) N 82 50 24: to win very little
(08:59:48) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: 3750 to win
(09:00:12) N 82 50 24: yea, so that's less than 20% of stack
(09:00:26) N 82 50 24: and you get called by hands that murder you
(09:00:33) N 82 50 24: except maybe a horribly played AK
(09:01:06) N 82 50 24: i'd limp i think
(09:01:29) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: i dont think you see an overpair often enough that it's profitable to push
(09:01:53) N 82 50 24: prob true
(09:02:00) N 82 50 24: but
(09:02:02) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: and the times he has an overpair you win 20% of the time
(09:02:09) N 82 50 24: yea
(09:02:23) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: and if you lose you still have about 5 big blinds
(09:02:34) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: on party 109 mtts that's plenty to steal
(09:02:43) Ozzy 87/bigslick789: you havent lost your fold equity with that stack
