How often do you limp with rags in the SB?

I'm of the opinion that the chips you save are as important as the chips you win. So if I'm in the small blind and look down at 47, I usually hang it up right there. Not to mention I'm going to be under the gun right after if I call or that rare raise from the BB. I was kicking myself yesterday when I did this with 76 and the flop came 776, but how often does that happen? So do you guys like to go ahead and take half price for a desperate reach at a hand, or do you opt to save the chips and wait for the button?

I like to wait. But it also depends on how deep I am in a tourney and what type of size I have. I have limped in 97 or a hand like 47 and flopped a set or two pair and gained a lot of chips. In the early or middle stages with an average stack or less I let go of most of my hands from both blinds.

Whenever I have 50X BB or more, I will usually limp in with middle ranked hands, with 100X BB or more, I pretty much limp it with anything, just for that occasionnal lucky flop, which can sometimes gain you lots of easy chips.

I will limp in with it if there are enough players in the pot already or even if it is just heads up with BB. It does depend on when in tourney it is and who I am playing. You have to mix it up and play those hands sometimes. I also pay attention to what the board was last hand too cause that has some influence. The RCG's don't repeat themselves as much as they do in live games.

im calling 65% of the time that accounts for being priced in & chips stacks etc

few things to consider when limping sb:

a) will bb allow u to limp?
b) r there already limpers?
c) r u planning a limp stab.. limp jam?
d)what if bb raises your limp.. do u have a plan?
e) raising is usually better cause u give your opponent a 3rd way to make a mistake
f) is jamming better (unexploitable)?

seems to relly depend on the situation and the players you are playing with at your tabel.

for me limping with rags in SB is going to get me busted every time, 1. I am a mod so I always have a target 2. most of the time in a Free Roll ( and other games) the BB is almost always gonna call a limp raise to them.

It depends. If there are no antes and it's just me and the bb, I'd probably fold, but if there are other limpers then just call. Also, knowing your bb helps. For example, if the bb is the kind of player to constantly raise and bully limpers, it's best to just fold.

i limp with rag aces but fold if there is a big raise - unless if get a feeling and many times i do -

It depends on the hand really, trash like 4 7 aint worth the limp to me, connectors ill do it or maybe with K rag or A rag.

I limp sm pp's if there are already a couple limpers, I might limp the button sometimes insy=tead of raising, but typically I try to stay away from limping it usually leads to leaking chips.

at low blinds all time

really depends on the cards!! but i will protect my blinds 80% of the time!!

pretty much any ace ill limp. any suited kings or big cards really. most of the time your just throwing money away its hard to play profitably outta the SB in a limped pot

Im probably completing sb with 50% of my hands-ish?

i mostly call ace rag

It really depends for me. For one it depends on the action at the table, my chip stack, and habits of other players at the table.

It depends on the hand as someone said above, and one important reason is how play the other player, beacuse if you try to do a Bluff with trash card and the other guy is agressive, can defeat you with another pair of trash card, even worst than you..

Depends on pot odds. There will have to be at least 4 other limpers to make it worth calling off the half-blind with garbage. I'd rather it be 5 or 6, really, because there's a good chance the bb will make a big raise if there are a lot of limpers, and so you stand a decent chance of sacrificing the half-blind before the flop.

I hate lim[in with anything at anytime, but thats just me lol

I know of a lot of sharks that love linpin with aces!! Sneaky bastards!

I agree, hand strength isn't as important in this situation as pot odds and implied odds. Obviously chip stack and table image always help, but 6 out of 10 times the price is always right for a limp here.

to me it all depends on my stack if i got it i limp have won several hands that way

Like most have said here, it's situational. There are very few absolute play or don't play hands / scenarios from my limited experience in poker.

It has a lot to do with your own strengths and weaknesses, as well as those of your opponents. If you're playing micro/low stakes, generally these are players who are stronger pre-flop and on the flop than they are in later streets. Give them enough time and they'll make a mistake. In cases like this, the implied odds are sometimes too compelling to pass up with ATC for 1/2 a blind. But if you find yourself unable to fold even after you've hit a flop, you may as well just let rags go.

you will never catch me limping with any rags in the sb.. only premieum hands :cool:

next time i limp a non premium hand please take a screen shot.. cause it never happens

the turk plays solid poker.. period

this may be super obv but it is all dependant on the situation and circumstances

I always limp with SB, long as no one raises. I have lost out on to many big pots where people slow played big starting hands and i would have flopped the AA cracker.

Generally, if they are not suited and not in range for a straight, and I'm not in with just one or two people I have a good idea of how they play, I look for 10 to 1 odds.

it depends on the number of players at the table.... the less players the more likely I'll press on with it
