Message: [QUOTE="-2222-, post: 354335, member: 2040"] In this situation pp's are very powerful and should be played differently than when playing a ring game where the blinds are low and limping in to try to catch a set that will give you huge implied odds. At this stage of the tournie, there are not going to be many limpers consequently you are less likely to have somebody catch a good part of the flop with which to bet into your set....these are the conditions that create monster pots in ring games. I'm with Grum....push it all-in and hope for a caller with AQ,AK or AJ or a small stack with Ax or Kx etc - this is a time to make your move and accumulate some chips and this sort of hand in these sorts of conditions are almost ideal to push with and set yourself up to WIN the tournie. Limping here will allow UTG and LP to beat you on the flop too many times with worse pre-flop hands. My alternative play is to fold. All-in or fold for me here as it sounds like the blinds are too big to keep losing chips on speculative holdings. If UTG has AA, KK, QQ....too bad if your all-in bet is called....thems the chances you take. ...[/QUOTE]The problem is folks tend to play and bet with anything. I've been called down before by 4-5 offsuit when the flop was A-Q-9 and there were no flush possibilities. Yes they lost that hand but these freaks have a bad habit of catching the runner-runner and ruining your strategic play...[/QUOTE] This is a sign that somebody has been sucked out on far too many times in a short space of time but also a sign that you are becoming too cautious as a result....this is like a cancer in NLHE toiurnaments and you must discipline yourself to play the cards you have for their value, not on the basis of how people could possibly suck out on you - if you allow your game to be changed like this, you will never WIN a tournament.
