1) it is their money they can play anyway they want
2) There is no one correct way of playing only lots of wrong ones
3) your judgements seem to come from a very small sample size, Check out lots of hands at all levels and you will see lots of different styles
Any player can play anyway they want to.
I sometimes limp into pots with big hands to maximise my winnings if they stand up or improve.
I also min bet or raise big with the same hand. Variety is the spice of life.
Surely, it is up to the player what they do with there hand. I am sure it doesn't state in any book how to play every hand in every position. If everyone played that way, thing become to predictable.
American's don't know gramma.
WOULD IT HURT TO USE A FEW FULL STOPS AND COMMA'S
i think doyle said if u cant beat some1 who check 2 u who can u beat. imo dont tap the bowl plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There are times and positions where limping can be good with a strong hand.
Just because I play ABC poker doesn't mean that I can't play differently when I want to. That way my game is not so easy to read.
Welcome to SkyPoker and welcome to the forums. There can be a lot of limping on certain tables, what level cash were you playing?
Then u find bad players limp calling with ace rag oop pre flop and you decide to moan about it!!!
I think you are missing the point. Put me in these games anyday!
It is generally a more successful strategy on an aggressive table and I certainly wouldn't recommend it on a fully passive table. The ideal scenario would be on a generally passive table with an aggressive player in the BB who you feel confident is likely to make a "squeeze play".
By extension, you can then also limp UTG with any two cards if you think that your opponents are likely to put you on AA when you make this play. This sort of play, however, requires a high level of understanding of your opponents and their opinion of you.
As people have already said, it would be a dull game if we all played the same way and each player is entitled to play their cards any way that they like.
