Looks like we're not going out tonight after all, so I'll probably play a pretty full slate of $3.30 and under mtts.

I might just jump in on one or ten of those with you.

I'm about to jump into one of the $6 90-seat KOs if anyone's looking to play.

Knee wants opionion on a play...im going to try to get the hand history and discuss it right.

Ok I dont have the hh saved, but will for now on.

We were five handed and Knee was on the button with 88. I was SB and another equal stack was in BB if I remember correct. None of us had more then 8BB at that point and that might be generous.

Knee limps putting roughly 1/6th of his stack in giving both blinds a free/cheap flop. What happens if the flop comes all big cards? I think you probably fold to a bet. At that point you move all in and get no calls and take both blinds and antes adding 25% to your stack.

I think limping 88 is not optimum. Maybe limp with a much bigger hand if you have super aggressive players behind you but I think the limp with 88 was not best.

It worked and you won but it took almost a perfect flop for that.

oh and knee I thought your play was very good last night, just wasnt wowed by that play.

Yeah, if that's how it went down, I'm not sure what the point of limping there is.

I think it really depends, I likely would not limp with 88 but it is not a poor play by any means, if he had bet and someone had called and the flop had came all big cards (I know that is a lot of ifs but if they all did happen) he could be in big trouble to any bet, as at that point you really can't call with a mid pair to all overs, or at least not feel safe while calling.

TM and I are in the 2+.20 starting in about 15 minutes 20:50

If gator's stack size estimates are right, it's all-in or fold.
