A Villain I play with a lot loves to limp/reraise from early position. I'm not sure if he has an early position open raising range. Over the past couple sessions I've seen him l/rr with AK, AQ and TT, so he isn't only doing this with JJ+ like a lot of players. Ideas on how to adjust? I have a few:

1. Obviously I can call him down a bit lighter than I normally would against a limp/reraise. For instance happy to stack off with QQ where normally that's closer to a fold when facing an early position l/rr.
2. Limp behind with marginal hands that i would potentially raise in late position after he's limped. My odds of facing a three bet go up considerably.
3. Flat fewer hands if he's limped and someone else raises.

Other ideas?

Does he also just plain limp a lot? Does he limp/fold? Does he limp/call? If so to either of the above, do we have ideas on his ranges for those moves?

If his limps are pretty much all limp/raise or limp/fold, all of the above sound good. You might also look to overlimp hands you would normally fold (suited gappers for instance) that have better than usual implied odds due to his likely premium holdings.

He does limp fold or limp call sometimes, but he's not limping a lot so I'd say he's raising a significant percentage of the time he limps in from early position. I don't have a good sense of his limp/call range but will pay more attention tonight.

I bet it's gg, haha!

Your ideas to combat this seem pretty good. I'm not sure what else to add.

One other adjustment - beware that he can show up w nutted hands even as a limper. V won a limped pot with AA tonight.

I had this come up a lot recently and i knew the guy doing it well. He was a thinking player so my approach might seem off but what worked for me was to either 4bet or limp behind all my hands. I literally never called him after one of his limp raise. He ended up stopping because i usually never or very rarely 4-bet so he could not effectively put me on ranges in 3-4 hours.

Adjusting to Limp/Raises is pretty easy.

Depending on the player and how he adjusts.

4-bet wider, trap his 3-bets if he's aggressive post. You can even tighten up your raise range if you're not very comfortable in 4-bet pots vs this type of player.

Basically just look for spots to take advantage of the aggression like anyone else.

Think what Zion and Doc are proposing is that if V has limped into the pot, and there's a raise, I should be more likely to call that raise with a super premium hand rather than 3-bet myself, because there's a more significant likelihood that V will 3-bet for me. Think that's a correct adjustment as well.

Yes. If he's doing it way too much. That's definitely the idea.

A related point: when the dude does open from UTG, realize that he's opening a weaker range and adjust accordingly.

Lol, that actually came to mind.

Unless stacks are quite deep, I kinda hate the suggestion of 4betting wider, cuz I know I'm never folding anything I limp/3bet to a 4bet (even though I'll probably feel slightly sick to my stomach calling it off with the bottom of my limp/3bet range).

I think the best suggestion is to tighten up our preflop raising standards once this guy has limped in.

Depends a lot on stack depths whether you want to 4-bet wider.

If you're 500bb deep, and you're not 4-betting wider this opponent, you're never going to stack him. You need to create a dynamic where he either defends too much or 5-bets too wide.

If you're not even going to test him ever and see how he reacts...come on man.

I'm going to assume he just about never raises in the UTG. If so, I'm confident that his limp/calling range is pocket pairs below TT. Even if he limped all of them, the majority of the time he would be l/rr.

The bad news is that you'll want to tighten up your range in raising when he limps in EP. The good news is that he's only doing this about once every 3 hours. It shouldn't mess up your game very much.
