[Closed] nl 100 VS limp-raise

i call every single one of them just to know with what they're doing this

Limp/3bet normally screams Aces imo. Holdem Manager has a popup stat "Limp vs raise" which tells you the percentage they l/3bet. the lower that number the easier the fold ♦

Generally though KK+ sometimes JJ+ AK are good enough to call a limp/3bet with. Unless of course villain is some sort of 57/4 whale.

In my experience Limp 3bet range are; 90% AA or KK+. 5% of the time JJ+ AK+ 5% of the time low-mid PP's and other random hands like J8s, 78o etc

Oh, unfortunately you have to be wary of BU limp or SB complete/3bets too. I used to call those a bit too loose and got punished. (I never thought the move made sense so called lighter)

I would fold hands one and three and make a note on his limp/raising. I would call hand number two, since his overall looseness and the chance he's making this move with air give me the remaining equity for a hand a little below like TT.

This shocked me. Where did you get that? Maybe you have a very distorted perception of your experience?

I had a look in my DB at my last 150k hands (all above NL200 btw) and looked at EVERY single time i got limp/reraised from MP (since all villains in OP are in MP).

I got limp/reraised from MP by:

AA(3x), KK(1x), JJ(2x), AKo, AKs, TT, 88(3x), 77, 66(2x), 44(2x), 33, AQo, AJs, ATs, ATo, A6s, KQs, K3s, T9o.

Perhaps my earlier statement makes more sense now.

Your information is totally unrepresentitive unless you got it all in every single time to the limp/3bet which would be a massive leak imo. I didn't explain myself properly though, I was talking about my recent experience versus tightish regs and exaggerating a tad too.

I'm not saying that there are no people who limp/3bet lighter but when it comes to regs or semi-regs a lot of the time they are trapping with a strong range or turning low PP's into a bluff and/or random holdings that they didn't actually mean to limp.

What Limits/ Sites do you play anyway? All SSS or some BSS too?

btw; I never answered the question. I fold KQo, I really don't like that hand for calling a limp/3bet but call TT and depending on his Limp vs Raise stat call AJ also.

It is representative, I folded only once in these situations (during the timeframe i looked up in the DB*).

I don't consider it a leak, since if I get limp/reraised i need only 38% equity or less most of the time and against 44-AA (which seems to be the most popular limp/reraising range). I have that with (almost) every hand i isolate with (if it's not a SB-vs-BB-situation, but these are different anyway).

Of course if I have some limp-reraising history with someone, then always calling is exploitable, but it rarely comes to that. (I make a note every time when someone limp/reraises me). Most of the limp/reraisers are fishy anyway.

*there i played NL200-NL1k at Stars,FT,ipoker and Party. i played some BSS but not on these limits.

What sort of regs where you calling these limp/3bets against? If you called the chances are you were not up against the sort of player that I was talking about who mostly only limp/3bets a very strong range.

How long have you been playing? I don't remember seeing you around much before, where you active on the German forum or something?

Hey gao20005,

I would fold hands 1 & 3, but I would go broke with hand 2 for the following reasons:

In hand nr.2 your hand is much stronger than KQ/AJ in other twos and in hand nr.2 you are heads-up while in hand 1&3 villain 3-bets vs 2 opponents which represents more strength.

In general, I find limp/raise stat very useful in similar situations. Without big sample size, I find loose-passive players holding a monster very often when they limp/raise and regulars that limp/raise UTG. Against those I go broke with AK/JJ+.

However, regs that limp MP/LP and you raise them IP will mostly from my experience try to raise you with middle PPs which they can't play for set value and don't want to play OOP, but the have quite some equity against your isolation raises. Against those I will usually go broke with AQ+/99+.

Another important thing is to always note down what was villain's holding when you see showdown.

Even if we leave out the fishy players who are incredibly creative when it comes to limp/reraising: True, there are players who *only* limp/reraise with very strong hands. And sometimes you can identify them with HM (Active player details -> preflop cards -> limp reraise). But in my experience even most regs and semi-regs try a limp/reraise with a low pocket more often
than they have AA.

If you have a 9/2 type of player on your table who limp/reraises you, I would get suspicous. But then I'm more careful with raising him in the first place.

Another point: especially when regs see that they have fold-equity with limp/reraising (like in your case), making such a move with low pockets is extremly profitable. So maybe if there was no shortstack folding anymore, they would return to only doing this with KK+; so i guess it's better for me if i STFU now ;).

SSS i play since 3/08. usually i post in the german forum, but there you need platinum to get access to the SSS-samplehands for NL400+.
i guess that's why my friend wusaa also posts his hands here

bronze is my highest status ever

lol german exil-shortstackers

i had another look at my DB:

limp/reraising from EP occured much more often and is stronger.

i counted: AA(8x), KK(8x), QQ(4x), JJ(6x), AK(18x), TT, 99(2x), 88(6x), 77(3x), 66, 55, 44, AQ(6x), AJ(2x), AT(5x), A9(2x), A8(2x), A7, KQ, KJ(3x), KT, K9, Q9, J2

of course only fishy players limp/reraised the weaker holdings.
