any way 2 get 2 your point yep limping is fine with AA if you no an aggresive player will raise with any 2 tht is called a trap do you think im tht much ov an idiot lol but ive seen it time and time and time again on sky poker ppl limping when they should raise enough said about that
timebomb10 - can I politely suggest that you curb the confrontational tone a tad? It's a good discussion point, so let the debate continue...
To be fair, it wasn't a bad joke ... for Greg :-)
However, I'm not a fan of limping in ANY position (except MAYBE the small blind) with raggy aces, or junky suited Ks and Qs (e.g. Kd5d or Qc7c). Personally, I put these hands in the "pump or dump" category.
I can count on the fingers of 1 hand how many times I have limped into a pot, it currently stands at 0, and shall remain so
He failed to cash in his first three, only suceeding at his 4th attempt. To be fair, he did get 1st place, but it was a £1 buy-in event, so he was probably playing against a field consisting mainly of recreational opponents.
In his biggest investment, a £5 + 75p buy-in event, he only came 49th out of the 75 entrants, failing to win any money at all when faced with a slightly stonger field.
Surely if it were so easy for timebomb10 to win here on Sky Poker, and if us British players were so weak, he would be cleaning up in the big buy-in tourneys?
I conclude that timebomb is just a wind-up merchant who should be ignored!
So, I shall withdraw...
But, before I go, I just want to say I find it really tacky when people post players' (often misleading) SharkScope stats on the forum.
Yup, the publishing of that site stats are frowned upon on the forum, they are unreliable.
How long have you been playing / "watching the tables" on Sky?
What level of cash games have you been playing and "getting sucked out" on?
The answers to these questions would seem to be fundamental to the points you are making!
You say you have the br "to play at any level" and yet you've played small stake mtts where there are always going to be be "limpers" and "chancers"! If you've also been playing small stakes cash then the same would apply, although if ,as you say, you've been playing "$5 - $10" cash elsewhere then you SHOULD be at a level to be able to adapt your play and take their money!
Also, you obviously wanted a heated discussion by the way you worded your OP so don't be surprised or angered by the heated responses you've been receiving!
so from your observations on skypoker,
your research .0000000000001 percentage of poker hands you have seen,
you have come to the conclusion highlighted above .
mmmmmmmm righttttttttttttt ?
AND i do have the bankroll 2 play but would have to invest in a whole new computer and i see this as in significant when all the other programs work fine ,
anyway this is not a topic about me its about limping into the pot but if anybody wants 2 say somthing about me im more then willing 2 answer
1 - Do not lose the fact that people come on here for fun as well as to learn, if your playing with that Eric bloke you talk about then not sure why you wish to play on here in 5 pound MTT's and expect the same level of play so you always know where you are in a hand.
2 - i do like to limp with a big hand when I'm relatively short stacked in a MTT - prefer to gamble to double/treble up than just take out blinds
3 - I agree with JH that nobodys stats should be posted on here.
Hope you get a new pc soon and if we're so bad you should be soon cleaning up
Take care
Limpers used to do my nut in, made me play bad cards out of position, made me attempt the most insane bluffs.
In other words, they PUT ME OFF MY GAME.
Try it sometime, you'd be surprised how it can make the most solid of players a bit tilty.
