About LinkBacksNot long on table, I've hardly played a hand though. I was thinking about folding UTG, then raising, and eventually went with the limp (probably worst option lol). When the button raised I went for a "tricky" play, do we like it or not?

ive found from playing NL25 that everyone fears the worst while still calling down hoping, just in case, maybe, possibly, A high is still good despite them having to put their whole stack in to find out.
i generally try to avoid any kinda trickery like this at that level, except as in my other post.
naturally, he was convinced u had AA so he had to fold his 93o.
also, if ur caught between folding and raising, fold......personally, id have raised this up instead of limping.For the best rakeback rates, greatest choice of poker rooms, more promotions, tournaments and bigger $$$ freerolls than any other rakeback affiliate, visit RakeTheRake, one of the largest and most reputable poker rakeback affiliates in the world.

I'm not a fan of this move because this move is meant to trap an oppenent into being in a pot with you. The only problem then is if he smooth calls with a better hand like say a/k and an ace hits you just trapped yourself for the most part. I'm not a fan of the tricky play especially when most people you play with aren't good enough to recognize the theory behind the move you are making. I think either raise or fold here.. Even with a bigger hand like QQ-AA UTG I don't like the limp raise b/c it may not get executed and now again you are in a tough spot with AA in a multiway pot now.

I agree that limping isn't a great idea.
But as far as people not recognizing the theory behind the play, I disagree. It happens ALOT at NL25, people will limp/re-raise their aces and kings all day long. I like to limp my JJ/TT to mimic the same play. As played in this hand I'm scratching my head thinking "why did I limp?" and then when the button raises, it's too good an opportunity to turn down imo.For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.

This is a move I do, maybe, once in a blue moon. Sure you're going to credit for AA or KK if you're running like 15/10 or 20/5 and your player is observant. But only credit for the first time.
I keep forgetting you play full ring instead of 6max. So here's what I reckon:
Fold
Fold
Fold
Raise
LimpBOSS

I play both but I've been on a downswing for basically the whole of April and full ring lets me relax a bit more.

I never tried this move but I like it. It looks sexier than the limp-call I occassionally do with Ax type of hands from EP (provided I don't fold them for some reason, which is the standard play)

It's better they fold then call or reraise, because then your beat more often then not.
