While most players avoid raising anything other than monsters and instead implement a wide “limp-behind” strategy – SplitSuit offers another option that is often overlooked. Larger sizing, coupled with the ability to plan ahead, can do plenty of good things that a “typical raise size” would fail to do in this dynamic.
Concepts include the types of hands to limp-behind with, the kinds of hands to AVOID limping with (hint: J♦5♦), and the kinds of sizes that can break even limp/cally players out of their comfort zone. If you play in weaker games with heaps of preflop action – this conversation is a must!
