hey,

Because a lot of people in LLSNL are so loose passive ( evrybody limp calls) you have a lot of RIO situations, right?

Does it make sense to raise IP with marginal (a8 , k10) hands even when you know more than 50% of the players in the pot are going to limp call?

Are we avoiding RIO situations by doing so?

I feel like RIO are such a big leak in my game.

people in a LLSNL game don't have any understanding of it and will just play their absolute handstrength...

Any pointers, advice?

RIO rarely exists in limp pots....unless you're a calling station.

In before lock. I actually think the RIO problems come not from playing big pairs which dominate LPs range. All you need is to get a feel for each LPs calling and raising range on different boards postflop.

It is in fact EXACTLY the hands you mention which offer RIO. A8, KT - if you raise these because, well, raising is good and LAGgy, right? Well, no. When you raise, it has to be with a combined pot and fold equity advantage over your opponents´ calling ranges. In LLNSL your fold equity is low so you need good hands.

Your RIO comes from iso-raising A8o into 3 guys who limp call and an Ace flops. My advice is tighten up and post real hands. Don´t talk too much terminology and listen to what good posters say about your hand and your mistakes.

all right, thx for the advice...
