Re: I\'m a major LAG
I limp for set value here.
A set undoubtedly gets paid big here, and its only 1500 chips, you can get away easy. Not raising is fine with me, it's only 9s, I'd raise 10s tho. 9s is just on the wrong side of the track for me. Wierd fold.

Re: I\'m a major LAG
Ok I think we've come to a consensus that limping behind is the best play. Here is my reasoning for making this very strange preflop fold.
First off, like I said, I haven't seen this guy limp one time yet. Second, he's playing 11% of his hands, and now he decides to limp when he has approximately 9 BB to start the hand. In my mind he's just screaming AA/KK here. My thinking was that limping here is going to get me into a lot of trouble postflop the 85% of the time I don't flop a set. MLG mentioned calling a bet on a raggish flop like T63 or 842 and then folding the turn if he bet it twice. I think this is a good play in the situation, but what about when he checks the turn? I know if I were him and played AA that way, I'm checking the turn about 95% of the time. Am I just relegated to stacking off on the turn? Or can I check behind and fold to a river bet? Ewwww. I don't know guys. Very strange fold for me to say the least. I think that if you really look deep into it that there is justification for my play. I think playing for set value when the guy has about 9 BBs is pretty thin. I mean nobody's limping 44 here are they?

Re: I\'m a major LAG
Good point that I didn't give much thought due to the general tendencies of these tourneys at this stage. All of you know it's very unlikely to be a limpfest and be 6 or 7 to the flop. I would expect maybe 1 more limper and then both blinds. That does make limping more appealing for sure.
