Check out this post by Doug Hull.
https://forum.redchippoker.com/discussion/91/mission-2-stop-limping-pre-flopI don’t agree that limping is more profitable than aggression. Try attacking limper in position. Limp folding is setting your stack on fire, so put them in spots where they either have to 1) call out of position with a marginal hand or 2) limp fold. Check out Jonathan Little’s books, he has written a lot about this.
As far as your play on the turn and river, what range of hands can you beat that he is likely to hold? If you say he will not fold better, what worse hands in his range can you beat? You are getting crazy odd to call, but if I am drawing dead, then I wouldn’t call down. You have outs vs some of the hands in his range, but not enough to call.
Does that help?
Try this:
http://www.sharemypair.comWhat would the button jam with in this spot? Just sets? Would this player 3-bet with AQs+, JJ+ pre-flop? Is he only flatting on the button with his entire range? Is he only jamming with two-pair+? trips+?
I’d encourage you to explore your thinking.
“I decided that I’d give it a shot.”
What is your strategy? What are you tying to accomplish? I would explore what raising here would do, why would you raise vs flat? If you are going to play this hand, I would raise to 3xBB + 1BB for every limper. This possibly accomplishes narrowing his range or forcing him to make a mistake. If he called your raise, he would be playing Q4s out of position. Plug your open range against Q4s in Equilab and you will see you are ahead. If you put in a limp/call range, you are further ahead. Also, you are not putting any pressure on the blinds. Your specific hand does not play well multi-way and your flat put you in a tough spot. Fold or raise here.“so I’m guessing he doesn’t have much”
I would suggest you be more specific, what would he limp with and then lead? He has to have a piece of it. What would he limp-lead with here? All A-x, all q-x, pocket 8s, 6h7h, 7h9h, ThJh, etc. I plugged his range in here, assuming he is not leading with air:
99-22, ATs-A2s, KJs-KTs, QTs-Q2s, JTs, J8s, T7s+, 97s+, 86s+, 75s+, 64s+, 54s, 43s, AJo-A2o, Q8o+, 98o, 87o
You are still behind here. I don’t mind the call, you are getting great odds to call.“I decide to raise, trying to make Villain fold a good pair.”
Do you think a player who min bets post flop is capable of laying down a good pair? You can exploit this player, apply pressure and value bet him.On the turn, his range is narrowed even further and you lose more equity against his range, which will continue with heart draws that are also paired.
In general, have a strategy, I suggest writing it down, and then decide which tactics you are going to apply in specific spots with some reasoning. Always be thinking.
