Ok so I was thinking about this whole limping huge hands situation, which I never do. But I was thinking of a reverse type thinking to it.
Ok so the reason many people do this trap is because they want some action or atleast want to play a hand with there AA or KK and not let it get walked with no action. The only thing is, is that when someone finally does raise the monster limper usually comes right over the top with either a raise or all in shove.....this is obv too many more than you may think. Therefor this hand and situation is bad in so many ways:
1. Everyone folds but BB and they out flop you
2. You re raise they see the obvious play and fold
Ok so after all that rambling, finally, to my point.
What if we did the same thing(limp with AA in EP) but called the raiser instead of shoving or reraising him? It's exactly what we want right? It's just that we flipped the roles around, but accomplished the same thing....
Think of it in the reverse order, us in position on them...
1. we raise and everyone folds and our AA makes nothing.
2. Or we raise and someone calls and we play the hand out like we wanted to
It's the same thing its just that we are in a different position....
The only downside to this obv would be everyone folding to the BB, and us getting out flopped...which is why I still advise not to do it, but i think this might be the best way?!
