77 in MP1 vs one EP limper

Limping in that spot is an extremely weak way to play the tenth best hand in holdem. You're basically conceding your ability to win the pot without a set. The original limper could have 22, 56s, JT, or A3o who knows. There's really no reason to fear a higher pair and surely you would raise with 77 from MP if it was folded to you.

well i guess since 77 is the 10th best starting hand in holdem, it must remain that way even at the river...despite the fact that there is a 92% probability at least one overcard falls on the flop and a 98% probability there is at least one by the river. further, there is a 79% probability that a card over 9 will fall on the flop. those cards are ones that early limpers have.

i limp in this spot

He's incorrect, not funny, and folding 77 there is an utterly horrible play. Quit sucking balls and learn the game.

Stop it with your ridiculous advice and come back when you've learned poker from somewhere other than Phil Hellmuth's book.

No, maybe, who said anything about folding, poor effort.

I plead guilty to the part about loving Phil's book but you are all still wrong [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

OK....unknown table conditions, you limp. If you know there are some super aggressive players behind you, does that change your decision?

Do you also limp with 22-66 with one EP limper?
