Was this just bad play here?

[Royal Flush]

Open limping is just bad, far too exploitable.

This hand, raise pre.

I would call turn and fold to action behind because the check-caller has either draw or 9 and will reveal that to your call.

Open limping is just bad

so is Herion and tranvestite sex orgies but dont say "never"!

you dont know when you'll be in a transvestite sex orgy, get offered some Herion and have to turn it down and leave, you'd look a right mug!

disagree.

edit, should state i think raising pre here is best, but as part of a balanced game its fine, a stylistic issue imo.

The best way to balance your opening range is just raise 100%

balanced GAME, not balanced range. Plus if you know what ur doing u can balance a limping game pretty well, menlo's ftops victory on cardrunners is a good example of how to use open limping against specific opponents (that play pretty well pre but tez post (good v weaktight opponents ur stealing a tonne from but dont want to force them to adjust to ur aggression) )

why are you fighting this? practice what you preach imo, did you not limp reraise AA utg @ day 2 brighton gukpt last year and get it in pre v greek jacks 1010......................

Yeah vs people you never play it can be ok, i am talking about when you are playing regs, like 1k< fields.

In that hand vs Jack he actually went to raise before i even acted, hence the limp.
