Now I know everyone is going to say wtf limping with 35 early position etc, I get that that is looked down on, but I dont understand exactly what is so unprofitable about it. Either you get a free flop, and can go from there, or someone raises and you can represent amazing strength, meaning any low board you will usually take, and you know that with any resistance you are probably behind.
It can also lead to scenarios like this one where you hit very strong, and since its 2nl most people will stack off with top pair, or a flush draw (maybe they would not put me on a huge hand because they have no read at this level, but in general i think my preflop play looks pretty damn scary. So basically I am looking for some insightful answers into all the flaws (and possibly pros) of this kind of crazy play.
