i hate when i limp solid hands and they backfire. i have to stop doing that so much.

 

[ChuckTs]

Ya there's obviously a case for raising PF, but I've taken to limping with AK in the early stages of MTTs.

I've done the whole raise, c-bet and it makes no sense to me in these stages when all you'll win is ~100 chips. I like limping, and only getting involved if I flop a very strong hand like above. Huge payoffs that way.

 

[joosebuck]

i agree with the play. im just saying it sucks when it backfires

 

[ChuckTs]

Agreed
