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?
