I often get in doubt about how to deal with limpers in the late game, and I will post some examples as I find some good ones, in the meantime I'm open for any advise; With one limper, with multiple limpers - how should I adjust my pushing range?

In this case MP1 has been limping with a little less than 50% of his hands - I havn't seen a showdown from him since we entered the higher blinds. I believe I have quite good FE against him and believe this is a clear push, but I would like a little discussion/advice on this subject and this is just an example.

$200/$400 No-Limit Hold'em (7 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BU$2810.00:///////;SB$1240.00:///////;BB$2640.00:///////;MP1$3520.00:///////;MP2$3760.00:///////;MP3 (Hero)$3850.00:///////;CO$2180.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K:d, J:d.
MP1 calls $400.00, MP2 folds, Hero ?

Thanks in advance :)

Another example with multiple limpers this time:

$100/$200 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]BB$2090.00:///////;UTG1$2170.00:///////;UTG2$1700.00:///////;MP1$1290.00:///////;MP2$2440.00:///////;MP3 (Hero)$1590.00:///////;CO$5820.00:///////;BU$1360.00:///////;SB$1540.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 7:s, 7:d.
2 folds, MP1 calls $200.00, MP2 calls $200.00, Hero ?


try going through this process when you are pushing over limpers.

1. would i have pushed this hand first in?
2. is the limper likely to fold?
3. is he trapping?
4. what is my stack position?
5. is it a bubble situation?

these are the major factors in deciding whether you can shove.

usually against someone who is limping loose and folding a lot to your shove you can push wider than you normally would because of the extra money in the pot.

you have to be cautious when you are one of the big/mid stacks and use this move more often as a short stack.

you have to be VERY cautious on the bubble.

hand #1: if you think hes limping a lot then its a shove, you would have pushed first in and he will fold a lot. even though you are in nice chip position you still have <10bb

hand #2: would you push first in? yes! therefore push! unless you think someone is very likely to be trapping you. and they usually aren't so you can get it in here as the SS.

Thanks for the advice, I will try those thought out and hopefully they will help me in these situations - I used the correct play in these examples at least! :P
