limping hands like A8o, K9s, etc. 6+ handed is really weak. even if you flop your pair, a lot of the time youre beat. every night i see people limp these, flop top pair and call off their whole stack.

This 1000x. A huge beginner mistake I see all the time, and profit on regularly (its in every poker book anyway, no point in keeping it a secret. Everybody knows. Except the fish ) is leaving weak aces and kings in your range.

In certain spots, these hands can be profitable. But really, I recommend that in most spots you entirely remove these types of hands from your range, especially out of position. Fold them. They're garbage.


They have no value. When you flop top pair, often times you won't get paid off because even to beginners it's obvious what you have. Every other time, you'll end up at the river facing a big raise, make a retarded call and villain will show up with a higher kicker and you get stacked. Story of the amateurs life.


The only time these types of hands become profitable are in position, and especially when you hit two pair. The reason being you can get paid off by top top and the like quite often. Interestingly I see people underplay 2 pair with weak aces and kings all the time and fail to extract the maximum. If you do hit two pair with these types of hands, you have to assume it to be the nuts 99% of the time and get it all in at some point, even facing a strong triple barrel. Otherwise, playing it will never be profitable =/
