Limping with less then 10bb left is idiotic! You should be shot for that!

Limping with less then 10bb left is idiotic! You should be shot for that!
everything is situational, but generally when you are severely shortstacked its all in / fold
I actually tried this move yesterday in one of the freerolls. I had KK at the final table so I decided to limp with my 6BB from early position. I got about 2 callers behind me.
THe flop comes Ace high. The two blinds check and I put out a feeler bet of 2blinds. I get reraised so I let the hand go. Now I have 2BB left. I actually had pot odds to call but I folded it anyways.
My point is you can get in some very unusual situation by limping in shortstacked, and you might make some mistakes in later streets.
Death wish....maybe if u wake up with a big pp and your in the small blind, everyone folds to you and you wanna give the bb a chance to try and move on you or give him a chance to catch a piece of the flop and trap him but otherwise its a disaster waiting to happen.
The only time I limp is when I have one BB or less.
yeah most of time under 10 bb is all in or fold mostly unless you limp to make somebody jam but that's if you want more callers unless a small blind limp into bb
lol. that's a good one. I guess I do that to!Quote:

I've done it before. Late position suited connectors everyone's calling. I would probably get 3 callers at least if I shoved, but this way I can see the flop and get off of it if I hit nothing and no draws. Still if someone else shoves, more likely people will fold and I will call with less people to beat holding a good drawing hand. This is just one instance where limping with a baby stack could be of good use.
i never limp in with 10bb left, but thats just me! everyone has their own style of play! but it cracks me up when they have 3bb left and limp in LOL!! im like why even bother, just shove already!! LOL
