My thinking is probably way skewed(hence the loss).
This logic is not skewed.. Every limp is weighted towards higher starting hand values, therefore, the likelihood of each additional caller having a specific high card hand is reduced.. Obviously, this is theory, and it is based on huge sample sizes, not each individual hand.. But the math works that way.
This theory is used a lot in Omaha HL games. Limpers imply low cards, thus, the value of the HIGH more valuable, as there are less low cards in the stub and less and less split pots..
YMMV trying to use theses theories when facing 4 bets UTG with QQ though!!
