Liquidating Limpers – PPP #58
It’s a common sight in low stakes games: limp fests!
In this episode we tackle the question how to play when there are a lot of limpers at your table.
Our stratchat hand of the week (21:59) comes from Poker Night in America Season 4, featuring Sam Abernathy and Michael Laake. There is a straddle in play in this hand and we observe what effects this has on strategy.
