    Default QJo in LP versus loose-passives

    My usual line:
    limp
    if raised behind, call but don't overcall.
    Your thoughts?

    same. Im mostly hoping for a straight (or flush with QJs).

    edit: ill also fold to the raise unless it is very small. dont like calling with hands that will only set me up for a draw postflop when i probably wont get caling odds.
    gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

    Losing Prop Bets
    I raised 8Xbb with AA and this guy who limped with QTo from EP called. Flop came AKJ... needless to say, but I lost my stack to the fucker.

    The guy on the button with 78flush draw lost his too... lol... so ya, the biggest pot I've seen on 25NL was won with QTo.

    I don't play them however because if a queen or jack high flop comes, you are not going to get any action unless are beat.

    I don't open limp outside of EP unless I know the table is loose/passive with suckers who pay off stacks with pairs in unraised pots.

    From LP, after 1 limper it's generally raise or fold unless I'm already on the button and the pattern mapper sez it's not a good time to chip spew.

    After 2+ limpers I start limping along hands that aren't strong enough to slap around the limpers.

    So with 1 limper do you raise of fold absent of a read?
    With no limpers do you open raise this situation?
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    This is very true, you need to hit a straight or 2 pair to get paid good. If you hit top pair you will lose the hand or win a very small one.
