Live hand limp reraise
In Response to Live hand limp reraise:
£85 tournament in local bar 8 tables of 9 players. Its a limp fest so i have to adapt the way i play and start limping in with any kind of decent connecters or anything from any position on table as they all limp pre and if i hit flops they will go broke. Tournament start stack 25000 chips into the 3rd blind level and i have around 40000 chips. Couple of limpers and i limp behind in the cutoff with k9 guy in sb who has done this 3 times from the blinds minimum reraises to 1200 other 2 guys call. I then contemplate limp reraising as i know he is weak and chance to take it down now or play with him heads up hopefully in position. So i limp reraise to 5400 he calls in sb and other 2 players fold. Flop 965 rainbow. He checks i bet 4k he check jams for 18400 and says lets gamble i tank call with k9 thinking hes gone crazy with a hand like aq or aj he says good call he has 108 but he rivers a 10. Do you think this is a good spot for me to reraise here pre or should i be happy to play small pots against weaker players in live games?

My reading of his push is that he was saying that he had a straigh. Not a very subtle bluff, but a feasible one.
It would though have meant that he started this with a 78, but as you say, that may well have been the case.
In this case, if I really thought he was bluffing, I might have went all in and made him contemplate being out of the tournament. You did have a decent hand here and the only think that could beat you on the flop was the straight 5-9.
Other option here is to fold I think, if you think he has the straight.
Of course, if you had gone all-in, as it happens, you would heva been out of the tournament yourself...

he must of thought that hes check raised all in had enough f/e if u had like ak a q etc was bad timing for him u had summit just unlucky m8 think about the long term ya loving the jam and the cards he turns over here
terrible play imo
cmon Bearly
They obviously not limping whole range, playing hit or miss poker so just raise dem silly suckers & play some poker
You initial reaons for limping along with K9o are terrible, they not even connected - don't even dominate limp hand ranges - and don't even have possible FD/SD nut draws. The only flop you like is 99x flop - even you flop K high, how many limped K's beat you.
So if you hit, how you going to know your going to cooler someone with K9o.
fold or rasie pre, cmon you know this
maybe if you have 4-5 limps before you and you limp along with low prs/broadway/connectors etc.. then fair enough but not K9o.
The only issue with limping UTG w/68s is reverse implied odds being the suck of all suck, espcially if everyone is limping all suited conns
see lots of flops cheap and value bet the life out em when u do connect
lot these players will make massive mistakes down the streets
The only thing to question is why you limped along and what were your motives.
Did you think that if sb raises I am going to re pop
Don't care what your coach says limping along with K9o is bad and you know it, J6s ain't that much better - KJs and yeah ok
If you was going to limp/raise no matter what your hand because you pre thought of it then fine
But suppose you just gotta be honest with yourself as to your motives for coming into the hand in the first place
Sorry i don't understand this play.
You say its a limp-fest yet you limp with a below par hand for the conditions as you put them. Play hands that can flop big in a disguised fashion or premier hands/ pairs. I'd steer clear of this 'stuff' as fancy Dan plays aren't going to work as well, to my mind. You seem to think you can outplay weak players post flop, so why not trap. You seem to be walking into one with hands K9 o and similar,
It's easdier to trap than to bluff in these situations surely.
Maybe i'm missing something as i've not read other posts yet.
prefer J9s, K10s even - little more connected
Don't know how much of an edge your going to have post flop when everyone limps and could have anything..
Don't get me wroung it's very viable to limp along in these fields when raising only inflates pot, just don't agree on the hand selection.
