Default Re: Should you play low PP\'s early in $10/$20\'s?

Well, if you play them in the right spots they are hugely +EV, played in the wrong spots they are -EV. So if you indiscrimatly play them all the time maybe they are breakeven or maybe even -EV. The problem with your question is that you seem to be asking whether its right to even play them at all early in a SNG. Well each situation is different. At a passive table I'll limp in in EP. In an aggressive table I'll fold. If someone raises, I look at my pot odds, implied odds, position, type of opponents, etc. to decide what to do. That's basic poker. I don't need PT, SNGPT, or ICM to tell me that.

You can not tell if a $10 table is passive or aggressive in the first few hands. If you are not treating all $10 tables the same in the first few hands, you are fooling yourself and wasting too much brainpower.

I do for sure (although I play at 'Stars which have deeper stacks, dunno about PP). I will limp any pair or call a reasonable size raise at level 1, limp in mid-late position at level 2, limp middle pairs in late position (or after other limpers) at level 3. When the blinds get to 50/100 I do it very rarely (maybe a big family pot)

I also play at stars, but Im debating whether it should be done on party, Im sure we all agree that on stars limping is correct.

I would not mind seeing some PT data on PP.

I would like to add that I like Pocket pairs when the flop comes paired. A paired flop is less likely to have helped anyone so a bet at the pot can take it down. Of course this is a way ahead way behind play. Just another factor to consider.
