Message: [QUOTE="Station_Master, post: 6725882, member: 1007778"] Remember Dnegs is mostly playing tourneys where there is an ante and ICM implications. Limping into a 2.5bb pot where no rake will be taken is much more attractive than into a 1.5bb pot with rake. Ok you a worried about you opponent folding if you raise to $1.50, and winning only $0.50 But if you limp and BB checks behind, alot of the time he will fold to your flop bet and you only win $0.48 after rake. Better to head to the flop with $3 in it and risk a fold pre rather than just $1 in the pot. Limping from SB is viable, but is better in low rake environments. And I would only limp AA a very small portion of the time to balance against all the trash i want to limp in and see a cheap flop. It's a tough strategy to implement and probably not worth the bother, given most opponents will overfold to a raise or fold strategy anyway. [/QUOTE]
