    Over and over this one guy limped into every hand every position. I am not kidding the whole game. He took first place.........Me second. But I just don't know what the hell to do about a person like this. He would limp with AK, AA, JJ, J4o, 35o..... did not matter.

    So here it is..........How Do I Deal With The Constant Never Ending Limpage.

    Thanks very much I am going to go pull some hair out now.

    limp behind or raise his limps in position and try to steal his chips. raise your bigger hands even more if he calls your squeezes and things get feisty

    Well, first thing, you can't stop him from limping. Many players first instinct is to try to play hard back at them to force them to "play right". This doesn't work. Often times, they end up in favorable hands, get lots of chips, and keep playing.

    So, I think it's a 2 pronged attack.

    1) Limp more hands. You'll have to get a feel for ranges, but now limping A7's that you might have folded make sense. At the same time, you may raise a hand (like a KQ) that you might have limped with a normal limper. Try to catch big, and then take the guy to the cleaners. Often times, these are the same players that on flops of A-6-6, isn't going to let go of their A2, no matter what.

    2) Raise big hands hard, play them hard, at least preflop. Play your big hands hard preflop, and continue if you hit them. At the same time, slow way down when you miss. If he's calling raises with ATC, you have AK, and the flop is 10-2-7, 2 hearts, slow it down. Make a cbet, but if called, you can't make him fold his 9-2, so why try.

    So, basically, dabble in hands (and you will see some chips bleed off), but when you hit something hard, you will make all those back, and more.

    I have been trying to play back at them very hard, now this guy I am talking about was a true LIMPER, I know you may think I am kidding but I am not 98% of hands played.

    Anyway these guys in general have been killing me but you are right they won't lay down A2 on a A66 board and I limping with a six or like last night I limped with JJ on a JJK flop. <sweet> I am a much better at post flop play than them.

    Thanks Lordxixor I needed the pep talk.
