    How do you play (early vs late tourney)
    Can go with in Multis or SNG, assuming you have no information on the other players.

    Im curious how people play hands versus early position limpers. Assuming 1-2 early limpers and no action between you and limpers.

    What do you do with hands such as JJ, 1010, getting even more marginal 99 when you have guys that limp in very early postions?

    How does your strategy change in cutoff, button, vs blinds?

    How many times do you have to see the same people limping before you change your action?

    Hmmm...is this an evil ploy to get to know your opponents better?

    Early on with mid PP to 99 limp behind and set mine. TT JJ try to isolate a limper to get one of them heads up the closer I am to the button. Early on I'll play value spots with speculative hands. Not much better in a SNG than seeing several players knock each other out early. Free money.

    The bigger the blinds, the more aggressive you can be. Jam and steal depending on stack sizes. How often to do they limp? Do the limpers call raises or fold? Are they passive on the flop? If they have been aggressive raising PF often and suddenly limp in, it sets off a flag. It's so fluid and opponent dependent. Problem is most SNGs and tournaments you usually aren't going to have a large sample size to go from.

      Just figured I'd throw something rather basic out and see what kind of responses I got from different guys at SBR.

      I tried it on SBR as you see a lot of early position limpers regardless of level/stack size.

                You might not have been paying attention last night, but ObamaCare is alive and well.

                No more excuses to be off the meds, pal.
