Limpin' is Pimpin'

[@KimiiiRaikkonen]

Very very good content, thank you Matt! i would love an option in gto wizard to put in Limps at deeper stack depths, maybe with a guessed node lock from your experiences on what most amateurs limp. And see how the solver would attack a weaker range.. I don't feel like I get 3betted when I iso limps at live, usually mostly calls or alot of folds. So I like to target and iso that weak range to get headsup spots against that player. :)

[@Skybuxs]

All good stuff so far!!

[@Bisirsky]

Everything is fine, but the last point 'limping in ICM is unacceptable' is wrong. There are a lot of situations when you must have a limping range under the hard ICM pressure.

[@joas162]

In the cEV sim all stacks are even; how do you think things change when you are the only shortstack?

[@pelican9854]

How often are we limping when on a soft table that opponents rarely 3bet? Are we still employing this percentage of limping? Especially from earlier position?

[@RCTricking]

Limpin is Pimpin! -DNegs, after winning the highroller 😂😂🎉

[@gamerwolfaoi2723]

great content today! ty ty

[@jondup2857]

I tried to solve the over limping strategy on HRC beta but i did not succed. It appears the later positions should have an overlimp strategy and a ISO raise strategy. Does it mean they should raise their best combos and overlimp the bottom ? For exemple after LJ limps, CO should overlimp 20% and raise 10%. Does it mean they should pure raise with pp7+, KQ and AT+ and pure overlimp with hands as weak as A7off, pp2 or 65s? thanks for reading

[@GTOWizard]

This really depends on the exact scenario, stack depth, original limping range, etc. Generally, once someone has limped, other players have more incentive to over-limp

[@chanceholdem5379]

It’s my opinion that the words always or never should not be in a poker players vocabulary to say one should never limp or to say one should always raise is very exploitable

[@davestern1225]

I feel like if you’re ever limping in position with any 2 cards it makes it really hard for you to rep certain boards when you miss. Not a big fan. Don’t we want to be able to rep any board? Limping in small blind is totally acceptable I feel. But other than that I think it’s a big no no.

[@split317]

I think it’s more of a way to see a cheap flop especially when you’re deep stacked in the middle of the tournament. You can start exploiting the mid to low stack players if you hit a decent or strong flop by getting in cheap. Otherwise you can just get out of the way for a small fee.

[@erdemtatar5583]

bol şans

[@goranhrkman3789]

In a bounty tournament, when really shallow stacked, I would rather move all in with my premium hands than limp.

[@B0bi_007]

That is the correct strategy, because you will get called more often in bounty tournaments, and you want to force them to call you when you have premium hands

[@bp56789]

The sound effect at the intro is way too loud, compared to the rest of the video.

[@brickingbad9099]

Limp and donate

[@saikgamingproductions]

should u ever limp in cash

[@onufrank]

due to rake you shouldnt have a limping range in cash

[@saikgamingproductions]

@@onufrank what if im in home games with no rake

[@supremeleaderarmy9164]

​@@saikgamingproductions Then find a DeLand deck and put it into use....😮

[@TomRauhe]

If I l've learned anything from own experience, it's "never allow the BB to show up to the flop with any 2"

[@vandalar]

That is only true if BB was a perfectly playing opponent IMO or when you don't have an edge over your opponent. Which is clearly not the case. It is much easier to narrow down a range when pot is raised and bigger, making decisions slightly easier IMO.

[@B0bi_007]

Nonsense

[@vladimirruzicka5]

Yes, it is true. Never limp, its for fishes.

[@justingoats9155]

If you are good playing postflop then limping is a great way to play.

[@tommasodilena4971]

I won 400k in 2 years playng full limp in mtts mid/highstakes. Thanks for understanding nothing about limping with your useless sims

[@skillfuldabest]

you mean full limp in the sb?
