When to limp in MTTs

The solvers have shown us that limping can be a viable strategy in tournaments so check out what GTO Wizard has to say about it.

Another great video today from our partners at the advanced GTO trainer tool GTO Wizard. This is all about limping.

Limping fell out of favour when the modern game developed in poker, but the solvers have shown us there are still lots of spots where it can be profitable. Matt Hunt breaks down the top times to limp in MTTs.  

This video includes:

• Why limping is strategically harder to do in MTTs
• Small Blind limping strategies when playing against the Big Blind
• The do's and don'ts of over limping when somebody has limped in front of you
• Why ICM disincentivises limping in general

While once hailed as a tactic of the amateur, ironically limping is more of an advanced play in the solver era. Check this video out to get you started thinking about limping in tournaments.
