when should i start punishing limpers?

craigcu12

I had just moved tables and after about 7 hands, it was clear my table was packed with limpers.
my chip stack at the time was 5000, the blinds were 40/80, I was attempting to build my stack and instead it was draining, had these limpers had 0-1K then i could have been better but they didn't.

things like super rollers and rebuys, it doesn't really seem to be an issue, the main difficulty is when playing BH because these MTTs are packed with calling station and fish.
what was happening is i got myself into lots of spots like this

sonicsco24	Small blind		50.00	50.00	5317.50
day4eire76	Big blind		100.00	150.00	10749.38
	Your hole cards	A J
fish	Fold
limper	Call		100.00	250.00	4120.00

craigcu12	Raise		300.00	550.00	4627.50
sonicsco24	Fold

craigcu12	Bet		375.00	1125.00	4252.50
limper	Raise		750.00	1875.00	3170.00
craigcu12	Fold
limper	Muck
limper	Win		1500.00		4670.00
limper	Return		375.00	0.00	5045.00

and knowing what limpers are like, the times i wanted calls, they would be more likely to fold and i'm not suprised because there range is huge

fish	Small blind		25.00	25.00	7090.00

Do you want a call with k10? Happy to take it down like that as I would not like a check raise there.

The two hands shown I think played fine, will always get value from them, play ABC, pick starting hands and I find posistion is key with the limp brigade. Joy of limpers is play face up a lot of the time. Will fold to a high % of c bets, have a lot of rag A hands that we can get max value from.

Nothing wrong with a limp behind too..... Got a hand like suited connectors etc don't feel pressure to always raise and inflate pot. Joy of limpers is the old limp shove with premiums too so I mix it up.  I for one love them tables, great chance to build a stack and how many times we get a great pot when in the bB and hit our dream flop for free
