MTT bvb 20-25bb limping strategy

[Doobs]

the main problem here is that regs will check check behind limps nowadays a lot more than they used to, yeh it means you can complete weaker than you would a few years ago, but youre gonna get floated out of your seat alot and make it pretty difficult post down the streets.

Was rofling around with this the other night.  Think I got checked behind twice and the other shoved.  Fortunately I had AQ when he did the shove with king rag which was nice, though probably not so great ICM wise.  Probably need a bigger sample size.

FWIW I think Alex did this to me just before the thread went up and I bet called KJ or KQ.  Was ahead I think.

also we're talking aboout tournaments here, where nobody ever folds ever

Yeah... Not read the whole thread but basically regs don't rAise from the bb anymore in my experience without hands they wanna call off. So this is pretty bad strategy IMO

Interested in all the comments coming from the two main different perspectives. My question if people are just checking the BB more, is what do we do when we limp, check and then flop a purr/ nice draw?

Do we just start leading?

Interesting topic, something I have been working on myself for a little while trying to come up with a pretty decent balanced range.

I think as a default its better to have a raise/call, raise/fold against alot of players (ones that call a lot in the BB actually rather than shove), versus regs though I definately think having a limping range is optimal.

Sauce123 (High stakes Cash game reg I am sure everyone knows) limps his entrie range BvB in 6 max cash, and has a pretty good balanced limp/fold, limp/call and limp reraise range

I think its a little harder to implement a limp/call range with 20-25bb stacks though, but maybe some villains/spots its viable
