2NL Weekend Crowd Questions

If limping is seeing a flop a high percentage of the time without a further call, and pots are often getting big regardless, then go ahead and limp something like 22-77, 45s up to 9Ts, Axs and some other suited hands. This is non-standard advice, some people would say it's fishy and they might be right, but if you're capable of getting money in when you're strong, and keeping pots small when you're marginal, then you'll have a lot of success with limping on the right table. You've just got to be aware what "the right table" means.

I agree and my only argument is that it's still probably better to be raising those spots. If you're doing what ong suggests, and are profitable post-flop, then you'll be more profitable if the pot starts a little bigger. This is especially true when your pre-flop raises kinda annoy the other players, but not enough to make them even consider limp/folding.

The risk/reward ratio is better when we limp, assuming pots get bloated. If we're risking 2c and win $1, then next pot risk 6c and win $1.50, which is better?
