TT $11 - Guess limping mid-pairs isn't all bad

[Skeeno]

Did I play this horribly? Should I be limping these or is it as played okay just a cooler. Villain was running at 32/2 over 60 hands so I probably should have respected that more somewhat.

Seems fine to me unless you have a specific read that MP limp/re-raises monsters every time. You see a whole lot of crap play like this, like QTo that gets "annoyed" by your raise and decides to shove over. I also expect to see lower pocket pairs quite often.

Yeah, limp/push == small-mid PP a lot. Also a lot of hands that villian thinks are good but he doesnt want to play postflop. Besides, you're 'stealing' most of the time anyway, so his cards dont matter .

I would raise a little less preflop, probably 350-400.
Calling the push is read dependant, in a vacuum I think I fold it

You didnt need to raise that much preflop. As played I agree with taipan, this is a hand your flipping or dominating much more than JJ+

[drmcboy]

this is fine, I like raise size, we are OOP with iffy hand post flop.

don't post/give away results.

don't post/give away results.

Yes, I was going to say that.

[bjsaust]

lol, I didnt even notice results.

I still like the call, you just feel dumb the times this happens.
