Lost in a festival of limpers- WTF.

3/6 is crushing me, I wonder why...

SB is a 2+2er. New to the table and don't have much on the rest. I had a hard time laying this down preflop and on the lfop once the univerise limped.

dids, this preflop call both sucks and blows.
Play 2/4.

Only when the whole table is (save UTG) has limped. I felt like Ed Miller wanted me to call. My preflop standards are usually much better.

Moving back from 6 max, I feel like I'm re-inventing the preflop wheel. Frustrating, expensive, and embarassing [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

I just want to know what the SB folded, given the limp fest.

Dids,

It was only 8-handed to begin with. If everyone limped to me on the button 10-handed I could justify J7s, but it's close. J5s is still something I'd toss there.

My last posts looks like I'm defending my play, which I'm not. I was just explaining my thought process, which admitedly sucked.

I know, I was just giving you my standards for full ring play (10-handed) where the implied odds are better given more people in the pot. J5s would still be a toss for me there.

It's nothing personal dude, there's just no reason to move back to 10-max games by transitioning into 3/6. Play 2/4, it's a lot more forgiving.

It's not that I think you can't beat 3/6, it's that it takes time to recalibrate your game.

In theory 3/6 was a brief roadbump before 5/10 6 max. The bump hit slightly harder than expected. Show up, win for a quick two weeks, and then boom- on to the fun game. Now I'm faced with a longer haul at 3/6, and potentially a 2/4.

I'm lucky enough to have some cushion to learn at 3/6, so I can take expensive lesson for the time being.

No worries though- that response kinda hit me at the wrong time when I'm sick, tired, and probably shouldn't have been playing.
