Theory Question

[Wes]

If you limp in the SB with other cards, you should mix in some limps with monsters. Just please don't limp/reraise if the person raises though. That line sucks so much. Makes people shut WAY WAY DOWN because people always have a monster there.

I just always raise because I suck in limped pots though.

In cases like this, where you've been quiet for a really long time, you're unlikely to get paid off by anything less than a slightly worse premium hand.

I still think the best line is to raise though, hopefully it will be viewed as a steal (or the BB has a hand).

Personally I try to stay at least a little active, even with shit hands, just to be ready for situations like this.

Another question you'll want to ask is - what do you normally do when in the SB and it's folded around? If you would normally call, then call, raise if you tend to raise - just don't fold if you tend to fold

Very nice point. I'd +ve rep you if I hadn't just done that for save my ass on Friday.
