Why do so many players say 'Do not limp'? surely if you can get in cheaply in a family pot with suited connectors or low pocket pairs its gona pay off? The only hands you should be raising is hands that dont play up well 3 way etc. 'Raise to isolate limp to trap' is the best motto!! Also isnt it easier to read an opponant if your raising the usual raising hands lol

    That's why you don't just raise the 'raising hands', you raise everytime you come into a pot and then people can't read your hand by your bet size but it means you will have the initiative when you come into a hand. 2 out of 3 times, with any 2 random cards you are gonna miss the flop, so if you are just gonna keep limping hoping to hit, you'll just br throwing money away.

    Also you say it makes it easy to read and yet you've just told us which hands you limp with, so now we know what kinda hands you have when you limp lol. Also limping opens up the possibility that when people seeing you doing it regular, you're gonna get 3bet pre ALL the time and have to throw away your limped money or call a bigger bet with an average hand and without the initiative.
