You should be happy to limp along with 3 other players in late position or from the blinds with all sorts of hands that wouldn't normally fit into your tight range. Just keep in mind, you're frequently going to need better than top pair to win in one of these 5 way or 6 way pots. You're looking for flushes or straights or sets in these games. If the game is very aggressive, with a lot of 3 betting and everyone playing 3-4 hands an hour, and you're at a casino, switch tables.
Thanks everyone for the comments. Looks like I played this hand OK i guess, minus maybe calling the river. I unfortunately had no info on this villan at the time so couldn't find a call. I probably did have mid 30% equity on the river, but no info so it sucked.
I think my biggest issue right now is not enough bluffs and I am going to start working that more into my games. I am finding when I have "the goods" people are folding left and right so that is likely a problem. I am not getting to many showdowns when I have made hands.
Funny you say live is full of limpers, I definitely agree with that and I am finding Global to have tons of limpers as well. Every session I have played in the last two weeks at least half the players at every table I have highlighted green as a limper. So this is definitely good practice for live play.
So if its limped to me and I am on the button, play a 40% range and the bottom of my range i can limp call? If it gets raised by one of the blinds am I calling with the bottom of this range? I guess that's where I need to mix in some 4 bet bluffs? And should I be limp calling CO at the bottom of the CO range or reserve that for the button?
I am watching a lot of videos by Poker Bank (SplitSuit) online and I also watch a lot of Jonathan Little's content as well.
