I played my home game this weekend and we had a new guy playing. My home games are soft but this guy was definitely better than the average and plays postflop very well, and showed what seemed appropriate pre-flop aggression too.
However, when we got to heads-up, I noticed a curious change in his behaviour , whereby he limped the SB a great deal of the time. After analysing the hands post-game it seems he limps a very wide range (60% of hands) , with 20% raise/shove and 20% fold.
However, it's not like he's raising with his best 20% and limping the next 60% - some of his limps later were really good hands (AKo, K9s and 99), while he put down a fair few of his raises to re-raises indicating they were not necessarily his super premium range.
So i'm wondering how best to exploit this tendency, when a player limps a weaker range it's pretty easy to just bet, but this is a bit different.
