I like folding PF. Rest is fine. I'm sure someone will tell me why the PF limp is okay though. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Looks right to me. Possibly c/r the flop? But I'm hyper aggressive . . . too much caffeine.

Shill, you don't like suited aces that far up?

If you're playing micros where limping with any suited ace isn't wise, then you're playing at the wrong table.

Fortunately, I've yet to see a micro that was that tough.

I'll limp with any suited ace from any position. If I'm the first one in and I'm in LP, I very well might raise. If I limp and it's raised behind me, I'll call, but I'll never call two cold with it from anywhere.

I think you're giving up a bit too much here by mucking a suited ace from MP.

Seems to be something wrong with the converter. It says 6 players but I only count 5 acting. I only saw 7 act pf as well.

Loose table SSH charts show limping in early and mid position with suited Ace-rag. Raising if it is still 1-bet to you in late position.

Basically the reasoning is since everyone has one bet already, raising it will build pots, and thus increasing value for when you do hit with the suited Ace-rag. There have to be a lot of people in the pot to make it worth it, though, it says in the notes afterwards.

In fact, limping in with suited K-rag when in late position is on the charts as well. But again, I really think this is for when there are a lot of callers.

Note this is for loose tables, 6-8 people seeing the flop.

I don't think this is true at the 1/2 level.

I don't play micros so I don't really know much about limping with hands like Axs. It is a pretty bad play in the games I play, unless the table is totally optimal. Give me more limpers and I'll see a flop.

Shill - I dunno what games you play - but limping Axs is an acceptable practice in the 3/6 games that I'm presently 8-tabling.
