    Default Limpers in Small Stakes

    At the $0.10bb limit, how much should I let limping effect my PF play?
    For example, if I'm holding something like A10s in the CO and someone limped from UTG+2, should I raise or limp? I often find myself faced with this kind of a situation and I'm always unsure as to what my best play is.

    Multiway, I like to fold AT, A9, KJ, and QT because it's hard know the strength of my hand when I get a piece of the board. They get me into a lot of trouble against loose limpers.

    With your position, I'd say raise>call. Knock out the blinds, go HU with the the limper and CB the flop. The best way to stop loose limping in front of you is raise a lot of pots in position. They'll either start limping more to trap you or they'll start telling you what they have with raises. It's really black and white here, but normally a lost cause multiway.

    With only one limper, either be aggressive in postion or fold.

    my pfr amount is decided by how many limpers are in the pot before me, so with AK AQ AJ TT JJ, i will raise minimum 4x BB, and add a extra BB for every limper. QQ KK AA, i jack it up high pf regardless if limpers or not in the pot.


    In the situation you outlined above, I would limp with the ATs. The reason being that if u raise and get called by one of the blinds, there is now a good chance that it could be 3 to the flop. And now ur gonna be stuck with AT in a 3 way raised pot unsure if the blind has AJ+, or if the EP limper has AJ or AQ. Not a good situation to be in imo.

    If there is no limper and u raise in LP and get called most likely its gonna be HU. In which case u can cb the flop

    And it is alot easier to outplay 1 opponent on the flop then it is 2.


    I will limp in LP with AT KQ KJ QJ if theres 1 or more limpers already in. I raise those hands if there arent any limpers.
