Message: [QUOTE="dallam, post: 6501192, member: 338743"] This limping strategy with this low on BBs are not working at all. Probably the UTG guy as you mentioned likes to play weak hands as well like K10 and Q9 and desperately trying to hide the strenght he has here by doing the same wrong tactic. In general if you have 13bbs you have to shove JJ, picking up the blinds - which in this case were already pumped up with 2 more. I wanna add some key-line to your thinking: - You can't put your opponent here to a range AK-AQ at all. This limp lacks all the pot building moves, giving space to weak cards to join and maybe see this deep such a cheap flop, and hitting their poor outs. There's no guarantee for the AA that someone will pull the trigger at the table of 6. Also there can be several people who wanna take an advantage of this limp, and pull the trigger at the same time - and even the Rockets are the best hand Pre, there's a chance that a multiway pot it will be beaten by suited combinations which could find a fold if AA would be outplayed in the right way. AK and AQ are too strong but yet wournarable to run as limp ; and having such a small player field until the tickets. But to see a possible limping range on this level with this donk style that was interpreted: Ax, any suited hands, any low pockets, KJ-K8, QJ-Q9, J10-J8, 109. - You did a huge mistake by going for the 5bb 3bet. At this point 13bbs can only do two things: push & fold. To protect all the shovable hands you have, you very often have to play them all on the same way as an all-in. When you're making a 5bb bet here to the limpers, you expose your hand to premium ones, and did not give an air to a possible bluff, and you maybe miss a chance to a double or triple-up. You should go all-in with so many weaker combinations in this position you were so don't give additional information about the hand your have, just put them under the pressure. Especially when they 're limping in as a strategically bad way. - 13 players left and only 2 gets a ticket. This is very far, not even bubble. You need to take a chance several times to reach the glory. So you need to play poker to your best knowledge, and can't be tight in the hope that somehow you're sneaking into the top2. If you have 13bbs you have to run the small stack strategy which can result you to being eliminated, at least you can say you tried your best, and not making wrong direction of thoughts by speculating that if you could fold JJ here you could stay in this longer. The optimal outplay is to push JJ all-in pre from your position here, and if you're out accept it cause you made the right play. Good luck for you! :) [/QUOTE]
