Then i started doing it last year and i love it, it's amazing how bad most of the regs adjust to it.

this is not true, Kelisitaan never open limped... only limped back and often strong hands lik AA

lol cosmo... in your standard live game with a ton of loose/passive players I'll probably be limping all pp under 88 utg, all weak Ax sooted under ATs and potentially even shit like K6s+ depending if there's a gigantic whale in the bb. I may opt to simply raise a significantly wider range with whale in the bb/sb if there's no other good players that can rape my looser utg opening but other than that my utg opening range is pretty static/tight.

in MP and in ep my limping range in similar described games widens significantly...especially in co/btn where i take down pot after pot without showdown w shit like Q6s LOLLLLL.

basically my game would be unbelievably easy to rape/exploit...but the fish are so bad so it doesn't matter anyways. even if I get in pots with dominated hands it's not like i'm going to be losing a ton a bbs to better hands...and since live noobs limp strong hands like AQ/AKs i get to stack them on like K65 boards w shit like K6 for the lulz.

WTF, open limping is bad because you will get isolated even by small amounts and we will be playing oop against god knows what range, if we dont want that to happen then we have to limp/3bet often, and if we dont want to get stomped by 4bets we need a balanced 3 betting range which means we will have to be limping JJ AK+ which sucks because we will loose a lot of value in those hands overall and even with a balanced range it sounds vulnerable to undersized positional isolations.


So Wobbly is right and being a douche about it as usual, there is a reason why it doesn't happen in high stakes online, but it happens live in softer games full of whales.
