    Yeah you gotta give it up, this is often a midpair that isn't folding. I've seen AQ here too

    No hindsight for the blind.
    You guys noticed that CO didn't flat a raise but overlimped, right? Overlimp/reraise is reeeeally weird, I expect to see trash connectors/suited junk alot. Shipping it in with any two can't be that bad in hero's spot?

    Yeah I would ship it in with AJs probably out of confusion, not sure which pairs though

    My bankroll is the amount of money I would spend or lose before I got a job. It is calculated by adding my net worth to whatever I can borrow.

    ive seen it done by tight passive players. it's not rampant, but does occur. It's done as a counter to aggressive players. Think about it, conventional wisdom is to raise limpers when in late position. there are a couple of taggs to act after you, and someone has limped in front of you. there's a good chance one of those aggros is going to take a shot at what they think is dead money if you limp behind.

    Seems more like a full ring tactic. Not as many people to bite at 6 max.

    The pot is getting rather big, many hands, even junky ones now have to call the rest; if playing the correct odds.


    I think there is no other play than fold.
