Deep Limpin'

[BoSox86 0]

I read about "Deep limping" in TJ Coultier's book. It seems kinda dangerous, and against pretty much everything I heard about "power poker". But I'm up for tryin' new things, and it worked like a charm here!PokerStars Game #1860610290: Tournament #943418555, $2.50+$0.25 Hold'em No Limit - Level II (15/30) - 2008/07/05 - 17:20:13 (ET)Table '94341855 49' 9-max Seat #1 is the buttonSeat 1: Soivek (2060 in chips) Seat 2: Fatty le Fat (1020 in chips) Seat 3: jackdack (1760 in chips) Seat 4: soreheid (2050 in chips) Seat 5: psiclopse (850 in chips) Seat 6: ToFo7722 (1595 in chips) Seat 7: cleanerchen (2915 in chips) Seat 8: katshoneybun (2830 in chips) Seat 9: BoSox866 (1320 in chips) Fatty le Fat: posts small blind 15jackdack: posts big blind 30*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to BoSox866 [Kd Kc]soreheid: calls 30psiclopse: folds ToFo7722: calls 30cleanerchen: calls 30katshoneybun: folds BoSox866: calls 30Soivek: folds Fatty le Fat: raises 90 to 120jackdack: folds soreheid: calls 90ToFo7722: calls 90cleanerchen: calls 90BoSox866: raises 1200 to 1320 and is all-inFatty le Fat: calls 900 and is all-insoreheid: folds ToFo7722: folds cleanerchen: folds Uncalled bet (300) returned to BoSox866*** FLOP *** [8s Ac Qd]*** TURN *** [8s Ac Qd] [3c]*** RIVER *** [8s Ac Qd 3c] [9d]*** SHOW DOWN ***Fatty le Fat: shows [6c 5c] (high card Ace)BoSox866: shows [Kd Kc] (a pair of Kings)BoSox866 collected 2430 from pot*** SUMMARY ***Total pot 2430 | Rake 0 Board [8s Ac Qd 3c 9d]Seat 1: Soivek (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 2: Fatty le Fat (small blind) showed [6c 5c] and lost with high card AceSeat 3: jackdack (big blind) folded before FlopSeat 4: soreheid folded before FlopSeat 5: psiclopse folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 6: ToFo7722 folded before FlopSeat 7: cleanerchen folded before FlopSeat 8: katshoneybun folded before Flop (didn't bet)Seat 9: BoSox866 showed [Kd Kc] and won (2430) with a pair of Kings

This is something I do much more than any tourney regular I know I think. However, this spot is horrible for it. First off, if you're going to limp behind a limper, I think it needs to be in early position and I think you need to be the first person to limp behind. Limping behind two limpers just makes it more and more likely that people will limp behind becuase of the great price you're offering. You also may want to steer clear from it a little bit because in lower limit tournies, people are more inclined to limp behind when the limp parade starts then they are to isolate a few limpers
