Default ($33) 10 10 in the BB

So they all decided to limp into my BB. Little did they know, that i don't like playing postflop. Is this stupid/wreckless? There are 195 chips out there that look pretty good. Will i get enough callers with 33-99 because they KNOW i have AK, to make this profitable? Do i need to get called for it to be profitable? I'm 95% sure there is no JJ+ out there.

Love it? Hate it? Do it often?

PartyPoker, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Converter on pregopoker.com

I like it. I don't think I'd do it, but I like it.

Basically, this is a win win situation.

Nobody has JJ, QQ, KK, AA.

So at best, your at the bottom end of a coin flip.

I think a GOOD % of the time your called here, you see 99,88,77 or Ax

Errr... I don't get this. At best, you're dominating 77-99. At worst, (If you don't believe theres JJ+) your ahead in the coinflip.

This play is fine. Most of the time you'll pick up the dead money sans contest, you'll occasionally flip a coin, you'll occasionally be 70-30. Very rarely will you be a massive dog. Checking here is also okay, but probably less profitable on average. I think I'd do the same.
