Default Limping QQ under the gun

(cross-posted in SS NL)

Hi,

I am a member of another poker forum, and I posted a very controversial hand on there that generated a bunch of heated debate.

I claimed that in a deep stack no limit game, it is standard for me to limp a hand as big as QQ under the gun.

Before I divulge into reasons, I just want to hear some thoughts here. Can this be right? Or is it always wrong? etc.

Thanks,
Aseem

Hi, I like posting random preflop questions without regard to blinds, stacks, table texture, image, and table flow. Is my move better then this other standard move?

No need for the condescendence.

I leave all that up to you.

The question I pose is precisely: *are there* any conditions--table, player, etc.--under which limping a hand like QQ under the gun can be correct?

the terms 'texture' and 'table flow' always make me laugh

i feel like we're talking about a ship on sea or feeling a rug or something

'texture' is just so broad

Can you elaborate?

I've covered these points and have my own reasons.

I believe that information is often more reliable when it's postflop in unraised pots, rather than preflop in raised pots (at least in the loose games I play in).

I also believe that I'm not really making suited connectors and the like "pay" when I'm charing them 4 or 5 bb's and we have 200 bb's or more in front of us.

No one has touched on this, but my biggest reason for doing what I do is position.

The question to this answer is obvious. The fact you are posting it here means you want vindication for getting ragged on at another forum.

Congratulations, this is the first "bad beat" post I've seen without you even playing a hand.
