50nl I just limped

Well as you know I am not a fan of limping pf. Ironically, last night I was thinking about the last time I limped in a cash game and I can't remember when it was. Then I did it today, spooooky.

Reason for it was the gay shortstack on my right. Should I just fold or is limping ok? What about raising, even with this guy on my right?

I really, really, really don't get people who allow themselves to go down to 6 BBs then limp into a pot.

As for you, I don't disagree with the limp. PF limping is kinda gay but doing it with small suited connectors is a goldmine when you hit.

In this instance you lost about 1% of your stack, and had you hit you could've taken down a biggun.

limping is perfectly fine there and i'm sure i would most of the time also.

prob w raising is it puts MP ai, he most likely calls, and u most likely just bet his stack w an inferior hand

fold isn't bad either btw
