I seem to be the only one bothering to do this lately but the answers on the other couple of questions were well worth the post
Near enough the end of day 1 on Saturday blinds are 1k2k 300 ante.
UTG Loose enough player limps about 50k, i have QhJh next to act and limp along have around 55k (I know I know but there had been enough pots that would get around 5 ways to make this worthwhile). If there is a raise UTG will call and so will I.
Folds around to Fintan Gavin (about 70k) in the Big Blind who makes it 9k. (my mind i made up now)!. UTG player calls and i ship. To me it seems obvious that Fintans range is wide enough and i can more or less discount the utg player (who most of the time would have a small pair or something.)
It seems a fairly obvious squeeze to my mind with that hand, but i showed and they seemed somewhat surprised that i would ship there. (That said i would do this kind of thing regular enough but this table hadn't seen much other than big hands in the very few i played). I'm not entirely sure that they would have any idea that i'm anything than a reasonably tight old lad.
UTG took ages to fold with Kh10h he said. Fintan said he had A9.
I'm struggling to see the negative in the ship. You'd have to think i'm only getting 1 caller at most and the free money in the pot and my hand give me plenty of equity regardless.
I'm well aware that limping is not something that i should be doing but its hard to knock that out of my game completely.
