loogie 115 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Subtitle should read "limp/reraise".Is there a hand converter that works for Ultimate Bet? Enlighten me, please.Here's a hand that you will probably hate.Lately, I've been playing more aggressively. I've been loosening my structured strategy and playing the opponent more. In the short run, my results have been good. This is a $20 sng and I haven't seen more than one flop so far, and I'm ready to start mixing it up. A couple hands earlier I raised pf with 5h4h and Killbot called me. Killbot called my cb and took the hand on the turn when I c/f'd. I limp with my AQo. I'll raise here most of the time, but I switch it up. Killbot raised me super quick. He's been raising a lot. Too much. I decided it was time to take control of this hand.Hand #42428310-22 at SnG-0024a1 (No Limit Hold'em Sit and Go)Started at 13/May/07 14:02:51 l000gie is at seat 0 with 1135. The Killbot is at seat 1 with 1935. pinishe45 is at seat 2 with 2805. johnmatzke is at seat 3 with 1520. dunkin donuts is at seat 4 with 1535. HAWKER3 is at seat 5 with 1595. Copper_Ga is at seat 6 with 1400. reddog04 is at seat 8 with 560. tbonz27 is at seat 9 with 2515. The button is at seat 5.

simo_8ball 1 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Open limping here is icky. Link to post Share on other sites
loogie 115 Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Open limping here is icky.I limp here about 25% of the time. I switch it up. There is nothing wrong with that as far as I know. Why do you feel you have to always raise? Link to post Share on other sites
gobears 0 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 If he has AK, then he'd need 3-1 to make the call since he should put you on a high PP. It really depends on what type of player Killbot and whether he's the type to put you on a hand or just looks at his own cards.If it's the former, then the push is ok; if the latter, then I don't. I don't mind the limp preflop; it's ok to mix it up every so often. Link to post Share on other sites
simo_8ball 1 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Why do you feel you have to always raise?I will open limp in some situation, and with some hands. This is approximately never one of those situations for me.Raising makes this hand easier to play throughout. Link to post Share on other sites

simo_8ball 1 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Obviously shoving is the easiest.By l/rr'ing you lose value from the speculative hands that would call a raise, but limp in otherwise. You also don't give yourself any chance to get away from it if you are beaten preflop, and that is probably my main problem with the line. Link to post Share on other sites

RISEorFall 0 Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 youre only getting called by hands that beat you, never by anything you beatyou just turned AQo into 27o Link to post Share on other sites
