What hand range are you honestly limp r/r with?

lol, and suited connectors. this man speaks the truth. i do it way more than i should, actually, but it usually gets enough respect.

etizzle have you seen me do this or are you just guessing from what i post here generally?

Honestly, I really can't see any good reason to limp AA in this spot.

i've been playing pretty aggro and people are giving me little respect. that said if i make a standard raise and low cards come and someone plays back at me it will leave me in a very tough spot pretty deep when others also have 200BB.

yes yes i know, play poker is what you would say. but it really sucks to have a read that someone is raising what they think is the best hand on some T85 flop and not knowing if it is a set or an overpair or what. so by playing a limped pot i can make it so there is less incentive to bluff/people play more honestly... and if i limp r/r i can make the pot big and have more definition to their hands by how much they raise preflop from where and if they call my limp r/r...

do you honestly not agree with any of this?

well my post was a sarcastic reference to a post made in the "limp QQ preflop?" thread.

Plus you seem to be fond of limping AA preflop so you must be doing it with some other hands too.

Yeah, I don't really agree w/ that rationale. I understand what you're saying, but I think we just approach the game with fundamentally different perspectives.
