Do you have a limping range? Do you have a limping range?

You're 9 handed.
It's been a limp fest all night, with lots of loose-passive play. You're one of the few aggressive players at the table, but you play a tight range PF. You're mostly raise/fold, and some of the smarter players at the table either have some history with you, or know that you're a strong player who usually shows up with the winning hand. But there are still stations at the table willing to pay you off.

You're in HJ
4 people limp, you look down at your cards. CO and Button are both weak-passive and usually go with the flow (limp button with KQ or something else stupid). They probably aren't raising if you limp, unless they have a big pair or AK. Although you have been raising a tight range PF, the weak-passive donkeys think you're raising 'too much,' and plan to counteract your aggression by limp/calling OOP. Your raises don't get a lot of respect, so raising with 10,8 suited is probably not a good idea.

The question is, are there hands you would limp here?
Personally, I don't think players are paying attention to my limping range, so I can actually limp nut-mining hands and just play fit-fold on flop. People get stacked in limped pots all the time. So it may seem exploitable, but here is basically my limping range in this spot:

- The occasional suited connectors 67+ as well as Js9s Qs10s KsJs
- Pocket pairs 22-99
- Suited A2-A9 (played for flush, straight, or trip deuces, not a 1 pair hand)

I know the range is exploitable... just curious to hear if others have limping ranges in this spot.

I think limping in these spots against these villains is fine sometimes, but tour range is too wide

I would raise the broadway suited connectors and the pocket 66-99

And limp 22-55 and the weak suited aces

With four loose limpers who think I'm too aggro and looking to call any raise, I'd limp most any two playable cards (within reason, so like offsuit connectors and maybe even offsuit one gappers). I'd actually probably have a very tight raising range, such as TT++/AKs/AK/AQs/maybeAQ and that might be about it (even limping AJ/AT/KQ and playing very cautiously postflop).

OP I basically do the same thing. I try to see flops as cheap as possible because fishies post-flop skill is non-existent. If you flop a set/two pair/straight/flush with you are going to stack somebody.

Don't worry about being exploitable unless you're at a table of thinking players who care about something besides their own two cards.
