Thoughts on open limping in early position

[Barry]

That's not a typical table. Well, it shouldn't be if you excercise some table selection.

If the table is not too aggressive I used to limp with all of them, but I have since dropped QTs. As the aggression level goes up the next to go would be A9-A8s and probably 77.

I raise KQs most of the time.

OK, as long as you limp-reraise occasionally with certain hands. If you never limp-reraise, then I wouldn't open limp in early position.

I'd want to play all of these hands up front at the table described. Whether it's for a raise or a fold is more a stylistic thing.

Do you find the game you're in with lots of people in on the flop without a raise? If so - start limping in with those Ax suited hands. The Party 15 might not be the place to run them, but in live games in most casinos during most times of the day up to about the $10-$20 game (and sometimes even higher), you're getting the correct type of tables to open-limp UTG with all sorts of hands, given the massive number of people that will see the flop.
