Who's Limped in preflop with AA, KK or QQ?

[richierichnz]

Just wondering guys.

I got knocked out of a tournament yesterday when my opponent limped in preflop with KK and I raised with Ace-Jack and then he shoved on me without hesitation. I called and didn't hit the Ace. I should of folded. I would of had 15 BB left.

I had AA about 4 times yesterday in the one tournament. I had KK and QQ at least once too.

Who else limps in late in the tournament to call all ins from desperados?

I play a lotta 1/2 nl at my local casino. Bingo essentially. I'll occasionally limp with a primo hand if my opponent plays 80% of flops.

If you know you've got a loose player at the table, min raising or limping and letting the loose player control the pot often works out well.


There can be more value from doing that to a loose player

I'll limp with those hands sometimes if I'm feeling lucky. Remember, it's very easy for someone to hit two pairs or trips on the flop, so yeah, it takes luck to win against 3 or 4 limpers even when you have AA or KK.

this happens to me especially in cash games but generally in a tournament I prefer to play aggressive preflop to reduce the risks.

 

[najjah166]

I often do it with players hwo raise all the time

 

[xbronk]

I try to play as aggressively as possible those hands the good players will fold in the face of aggressiveness, they will only stay better hands at least that is the idea that does not always work out but it seems to me the best way to play it:ciao:

 

[Inequitas]

I often do it with players that to raise all the time

I do also.... aww and I always get value when you find you have pocket pair with constant aggressive betting opponent...

Check out this Boom Player action to see what i mean...

I like to do it when I am short stacked and see aggressive players behind me.

 

[Cloxy]

It's interesting `cause sometimes I try to play less aggressive with a strong hand to get maximum value and allows to defeat me the hands that I could destroy in the earlier stages.

I've done this movement many times.

 

[whosdaboss25]

I never limp I always put in a 2- 2 1/2 BB raise when I open when you limp it shows weakness you don't ever want to show weakness in your game. If you do you will get ran over That is just my thinking on it I guess, but I've seen a lot of live and online poker and everytime someone shows weakness they get ran over.

I limp with them once in a while, the situation must be right, I must have some information that points to there is a good chance someone behind is going to raise.

You must adapt , it's not the smartest move because you are exposing your premium hand to more callers and you will lose equity but in late positions and with an aggressive player behind I think we can taking the risk.Especially in bounty tournaments who chasing the fast payment like crazy!

Open limp from EP is a dumb move for me but from CO , BU and for balancing purposes why not?

 

[MadMan999]

It's effectively vs loose aggressive players. When you limp they often make 3-bet or go all-in and you need just call to take their stack.

 

[619Leafs]

I rarely limp with high premium pairs only because too many hands can beat one pair.

I've done it with AA some of the times. Might have to try it with KK in early position once or twice to see what happens. It will depend on the table I'm playing at. In a CC tournament I don't think I will be able to benefit from it though. Won't know until I try it though.

 

[gwj63]

I have cash and buyin tourney
it works 4 out of 5?
cash worked tourney didn't that I remember

done it both ways more then once w/aa
wont do it in freerolls, I push preflop

 

[Pickat]

I don't limp with those hands . You can't let the blinds draw at you for free . If you have aggressive players , a small raise will usually work just as well to entice them and you don't risk letting the blinds out drawing you .

 

[James24543]

I have done this before it works 50% of the time or more in terms of winning the hand.

good call. i might try this next time and limp. i've found most people fold if 3bet with AA, KK, QQ

gotta find a LAG at the table first to do it to.

Limp in maybe with KK or with raise, not usually ALL in as ACE arrives on flop your not getting Ace rag to fold and any bet will be contested. I'Dpush all in with AA if I got raised from initial RR and hope for a call and to remove the 57 10-9 egg chasers and hope it holds and you get paid or at least stay in the tounry

Never a right way to play pockets as you never know what cnnons are about.

I only started this thread because a big stack a few days ago did this to me. He limped in with KK and i raised with AJ. He shoved on me and I called. In hindsight I should of folded. I would of had 15 BB left had I done so.:call2:

Never make limps a premium hand regardless of the spot, due to two main factors the first when you have a hand as AA or KK want to give value to that hand must be done from the pre-flop and second to reduce the number of players and have a better reading of your opponents in that hand

There's a couple spots where I think you get more value limping?
Examples would be...

In the BB one caller to the flop who you know is aggressive?

Family pot with a couple of Ultras and a couple of donks (if you hit a favorable flop) let them do the betting for you till the river bomb bet.
With today's game it doesn't matter how much you bet they are going to call anyway? A limp helps limit the pot size and loss if you end up with a 9/10/j of hearts flop to your two black aces?

Or my personal favorite:
When playing against someone you know to be only playing premium hands who you put on Ace king type holdings. The type everyone usually folds to preflop if they entered the hand? The limp looks like a drawing type play 7/8 clubs something like that. If you catch a set and you know they most likely made top pair it's hard to put you on AA KK in that spot.
