    Default A7s on button with 8x BB to loooooose UTG limp ($27)

    Limper is super loose, stats something like 48/6 over 50 hands. Losing player on Sharkscope, fishy icon. Standard shove?

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver Cards)

    BB (t3180)
    UTG (t4625)
    MP (t2585)
    Hero (t1265)
    SB (t1845)

    Preflop: Hero is Button with , .
    UTG calls t150, 1 fold, Hero raises to t1265

    I see the limp/call shorty sooo much lately with stuff like 55 or AT or KJ that I am confused here too. Used to be you could move in with ATC here and just hope you didn't run into a hand behind and show a profit but more and more I think these guys are limping specifically to call you. I think it's awful play, but it's harder to exploit because:

    you need a hand
    &
    you have to figure out that's what they are doing before you get said hand.

    Which is hard since you only have about 10 minutes where they will make this play.

    Yeah, your short and the limp could be anything. Nh.

    PS I should be clear that this seems like an autoshove to me, my comments are just me thinking aloud about whether I am wrong.

    I've also run into this limp/call with a monster a lot more recently (and havnt been playing much). Dont think that we can adjust our play though, because someone as loose as that has a range heavily weighted towards suited connectors and other crap in that spot.

    Seems to be AK a lot for me.
    Just dipping my toes back in.
