This is probably an easy answer but im just curious as to what the majority would do!!

As played iso shove to get the sb (and his trash out of the pot). We are getting about 2 to 1 which should more than enough against bbs range.

Depending on gio tendencies, I would often shove when it comes round to me first time.

If you never limp you will improve your game immeasurably !

Also have a plan before you do anything

Now you are there fold or iso, leaning towards iso

I pushed and lost a flip against AK

But your right if I didnt limp I wouldnt have put myself in this position!!

Thanks again!

Yeh fold pre.

Shove over the short stack jam

basically never limp. the only circumstances  i think its fine to limp in a tournament are in the early levels if somebody limps before you and you have like 22-77 its generally OK to just limp along.

You want to be raising all the hands you're going to be playing. Or calling a raise from somebody else.

Think there's quite a few occasions limping is fine and definitely optimal. However I think you have to be a legit sicko and really understand te dynamics and the reason why you're limping. Not just limping to try and flop a pair.

agree, but thats off topic in this case imo

I understand... Never Limp...

Always raise or call a raise!!!

Im learning :)

or reraise (y)

New York back raise

Its mad really, you like to think your a half decent player and know what your doing and talking about.

But really I know maybe 1% and the more and more I read and talk to some of you lads on here I am learning that I really dont know anything :)

Thanks again for the advice lately and helping me work on my game!!

You folks never played the ante only?  Limping 100% of hands is great fun and must be close to optimal ;)

chelseaboy making a late run in for the advent calendar imo
