    Default preflop game: handling LP limpers

    How do you handle short handed limpers in mid/late game?

    Say everyone's of equal stack and you are in the BB, button limps, sb calls. The blinds are 100 and there are 7 players left. Do you raise with any two for fold equity and cbet if called? Do you raise only premiums? What's a good range to be raising in this spot? I know it depends on a lot of things, like the tightness of the button limper, etc. So what other kinds of things do you take into consideration when deciding what range to raise with and what to just see a free flop with?

    There is a tool which can analyze limpers or raisers for SitNGo games. It is called SitNGo Wizard . Give that a try, it provides 30 days free trial with no restrictions.

    I raise any two that I think can hit a flop well. 76s+, T9o+, 97s+, A7+, K9+, most pps.

    Reads enter into it too. What types of hands have they been limping that you've seen?

    hmm i dont do this as much. certainly i wouldnt be as loose with raises.
    Not saying that im disagreeing as im interested in what others do here.

    more so if im 10xBB or 20xBB+ ill raise more hands but around the awkward size of 13-15xBB im weaker.

    obviously reads are very important here. i made
    a mistake doing thios the other day. button limped TT cant remember what i had.
    Jman: every time the action is to you, it's an opportunity for you to make the perfect play.

    My post describes my basic stealing philosophy as well.

    As far as vs limpers, I'm unlikely to make a play like this the first time it happens, but if it's a frequent thing, I'm going to start trying to grab some free chips.

    you mean from BB dont you. just unsure if you still call it stealing with 1 limper and SB.

    Yeah of course. plus i cant wiat till button shows down a hand. id almost pay him a BB just to see what his range is.
