Button-Stealing After Limpers

Postby EscapePlan9 » Sat Nov 12, 2005 3:59 am

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (7 handed)

Hero (t1653)
SB (t445)
BB (t1005)
UTG (t2300)
MP1 (t1347)
MP2 (t430)
CO (t820)

Preflop: Hero is Button with [Ad], [Td].
UTG calls t50, MP1 calls t50, 1 fold, CO calls t50, Hero raises to t220, 2 folds, UTG folds, MP1 folds, CO folds.

Final Pot: t445

I'd seen some of them previously fold to big raises after limping, and that's all I needed to make this play. My hand could have been much worse, but still, I did not raise here in hopes of being called.

That works a lot when it's shorthanded (down to 4 or 5) and the blinds are fairly big. I've seen so many times when UTG will limp, UTG+1 will limp, the button will limp and i'm sitting their in the SB with 35s and push all in for 12BB or something and my only concern there is the BB.
Poker is silly.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.

Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

Right on. It certainly is a better play when short-handed and the blinds are larger. Here I was just messing around and felt like making a move for some reason. I had plenty of chips incase I was called and found an unfavorable flop.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't recommend pushing in that situation, although, there's a very good chance you have the best hand there. I've seen (and not that rarely) people limp in with J4o or hands like that after they see 2 people who have already limped.
