In Response to Re: Limping with JJ : but look at this hand though, its just plain ugly, utg limps and he then limps behind hoping someone will raise, what if they all decide they wanna limp in behind now cos 2 people have done it and u end up going 5 way to the flop, unless hes some post flop genious he wont have a clue were he is unless he flops a set like he did this time, hes lucky 2 people had genuine hands behind. call me old fashioned but doing you're own betting has allways worked just fine for me Posted by THEROCK573
Yeah I fully agree that the majority of the time you want to be raising it up pre-flop. His reasoning for limping is kind of vague with some out-dated concepts applied. But if we know it will be raised behind us frequently and also know that when we 3-bet we are going to be called by worse then it becomes a very profitable situation. Sure, it sucks a bit when it gets limped around but it's not a disaster unless we are incapable of letting our hand go post-flop when it's clear we're beat.
