Limping is very agressive and I wouldn't do it but its not totally horrible. Cards like that with the massive implied odds can work out great. But calling a big raise is just dumb.

gobears 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Limping from the CO with two suited cards due to implied odds and the surprise factor is understandable . The call of the raise is terrible. Link to post Share on other sites

Speculative hands are sooo much harder to play when stack sizes vs. blind sizes almost guarantee an all in flop. Some of your best flops, like a flush draw and bottom pair, are going to leave you shut out when someone moves in first position. If you've both got deep stacks, I don't really hate this play (though I'm not usually good enough to pull it off), but it seems absolutely horrible when you've only got 50xBBIce Link to post Share on other sites
