Why Limping Loses

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

The sandbagging strategy just seems to create too many complicated post-flop situations.

Recently a player in early position probably regretted limping his {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{9-Clubs}

into Rody Kaka with {q-Hearts}

{q-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

in the big blind.

The flop came {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{5-Diamonds}

{10-Hearts}

and Kaka fired out 2,000. The opponent just flat called. Kaka loved the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

turn and fired out 6,000. He loved it even more when the opponent decided to move all in.

Of course Kaka snap called and the river blanked the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

.

"If he bets preflop or on the flop, I'm out of there," said Kaka as he dragged the near 45,000 chip pot.
