Okay, I got my brother into poker a while back and he's currently working up his bankroll from very little. He understands most concepts of poker, and is good enough to beat .1/.2 and .2/.5
However, he still makes some mistakes. Mainly his willingness to play OOP in LAG tables. Example hand. He was playing some .1/.2 6max, and he open limped Q/9s UTG +1. I told him that limping in any game was the worst move that one could make pre-flop, and his options should be fold, raise, and call last. Furthermore, he said that he would be willing to limp/call a raise of up to 3x in that position. We argued about it for a little and he told me to ask CC what they thought.
So here I am. Maybe its just his unwillingness to listen to his bro , but if i could get some ppl to back me up on why limping preflop and playing OOP willingly is bad. Ty for responses guys, his poker future is at stake!
