what is the theory behind a limping strategy? (non Small blind position)
Hello,
In the games I play live where it may be profitable to create a limping strategy from earlier positions. I can't quite pinpoint how it could be +ev or the theory behind it. Could someone shed some light on how to create and what types of table/opponent positioning where it would be beneficial/+ev to have an earlier position limping strategy?
One scenario I found is if I'm sitting to the right of the "target" or weak spot at the table. I open a normal 3-5bb RFI if he calls, I'm basically guaranteed a 4-5 way pot. So in this scenario could it be good to start limping, let the weaker player limp behind and if a reg decides to raise in later positions we still have the option to raise/flat/call depending on how many people are involved in the pot and what type of hand we have?
just wondering exactly when it would be +ev to limp from EP. May it be the opponent types? or depends on the positions of the different types of opponents on the table? And how do we go about working out a more balanced EP limp strategy?

Hey, try checking out some of Juan Pastor's videos. He uses limping in EP and MP at online six max tables. You can find his videos here
hey thanks. checked out his vid. sick zoom 500 results. do you know how we should approach building a balanced EP/MP limping strategy?
I don't personally but it's something that might be worthwhile to ask in Juan's video threads.
Normally, people who use this strategy claim that it benefits from people's mistakes. Since they do not know how to counteract this strategy.
limp strategies are good for combating people who have studied a ton of rfi strategies with solvers, it puts them out of their element. And also to combat people who use A.I in real time. I doubt oborra, if he is a 'bot', has got all the limp charts to pull from :).
i expect limp strategies to become more popular over time.
