Do you open-limp from EP with Axs?

It depends on the table. If you have 3 tags all near the button, theres almost no way your seeing the flop for one bet. Limp loose or passive, muck in an agressive game.

I think limping A2s UTG in a ten-handed game is pretty awful,

Kind of depends on the game texture, doesn't it?

Post your VP$IP from UTG, UTG+1 with A7s-. Also post your number of hands and BB/hand. Thanks,

I only have ~28,000 hands total in PT and half of those are at 1/2. Furthermore, I didn't start limping these hands UTG until late in my time at 1/2 when I became more comfortable with my post-flop play. Limiting the filter to just UTG and UTG+1 means the sample size is absurdly small, but . . .

A7s - A2s
VP$IP from UTG or UTG+1: 49.47
Total # Hands: 95
Total BB/Hand: 0.51

A6s is losing (0.25); the rest are profitable with A2s at 0.09 and A7s at 1.19.

Obviously this is of almost no value due to sample size (Hey! my earn with A7s from UTG or UTG+1 is better than my earn with AKs from all positions!)

Did you really want the stats, or were you just hoping to sneer about sample size? Because I figure even your 140,000 hands at 2/4 should yield about 500 total hands of A7s - A2s in UTG or UTG+1, meaning we're still playing with a pretty damn small sample size regardless.

This looks good. You are discriminating. I agree the BB/hand stats are worthless due to sample size. I thought you might have a larger sample.

I might be less discriminating than I should be . . . really, at this point I will limp with them way more often than not from EP (the 49% VPIP is artificially low because I almost never limped with them during the first 33% of total hands played in my PT DB).

But I will not sit at a table that routinely has 2 or 3 to the flop -- if there aren't routinely 5 or so to the flop, or if the vast majority of the hands are raised pf (unless I'm doing the raising), then I'm not limping with them from EP -- and I'm not sitting at that table for very long unless I have a buddy-lister with me.
