Good Post. One of the guys on 2+2 brought this concept to my attention a couple of years ago. He called it "nobody is allowed to limp on my button."

I think one caveat should be that if you do this with any 2, you should almost always confine it to the button, if for no other reason than you want to be guaranteed position if called. It can be done one or two off the button if you're somewhat selective about your cards.

The second point is you have to be willing to follow through on the flop if called *and* the texture of the flop is right for a cb.

Position as you mentioned, is important. Rarely do I try this line outside of the CO or Button.

Nice article, a couple questions.
Are you more reluctant to do this against an EP limp?
More or less likely to do it against 2 or more limpers?
I find that an average stack at those levels is barely above 10 bbs. If we are going to raise 4bb, what is the minimum stack size we should have to make this kind of play?

Good questions - show's you're thinking about how to apply it in certain situations. I'll provide my answers in bold below.

That's it for now!

Awesome Aeq, thanks. I played in 2 $4 180s last night and put this to use. In one I never got any hands and busted half way so I didn't really get a chance, but in the other one I got a stack early and used this play at least 4 times. It worked great, twice I got the pot preflop, the others I got heads up and took down with a CB. Ended up finishing 3rd.
