The player with K-J would likely called, and the outcome would be the same, it just would have gone faster, and the limpers would have been forced out.Ī raise of of 3x, 4x, or 5x does drive generally drives out garbage hands. Of course, it could be argued that it might have played out the same way if he had raised. The early position limper had A-Q and looked disgusted when the other player showed K-J for a turned full house. There were only two players remaining, and you can probably guess the hands. After a small bet on the flop, another king came on the turn. Watched one limp fest in the early evening hours when eight players limped. But it's tough to make a decent profit winning $3 at a time. I generally come in with a raise, 3x, 4x or 5x, and sometimes get callers, sometimes not.
So, many players want to limp with their small pairs and suited connectors on longshot hopes of making a high hand worth a couple of hundred dollars. Several of the locals joints in Las Vegas have introduced high-hand bonuses for the hour/half hour. Struggling in recent sessions at 1-2 NLH.
