Question for Hagbard Celine

While I was watching 3r FT HH Review with Hagbard Celine and destiniunbound (great vids btw) I noticed that at a certain point you suggest destini to call in the small blind due to the low chips he has to contribute. But I also noticed that later in the video you suggest he raises on small blind limpers intending to steal beccause they appear very weak. Should I make my range smaller  when choosing to limp the small blind knowing it appears weak and that people may attempt to steal from me? Or even consider keeping it to hands I would raise with.

 

Thanks

thanks for the question, and the kind words.

 

blind vs. blind situations are tough to talk about generally because what to do in any particular situation depends on so many different things.

 

that being said, in general it’s probably good to just play really tight from the SB. as you get more comfortable with hand-reading, ranging and playing out of position you can start to open your defending range and completing range; but as a general rule it’s fine to be a giant nit out of position.

 

i will limp the SB here and there, mainly to see how the BB reacts to limps, and then depending on how he reacts i will adjust/use that history to set up plays in the future. like if he raises limps regularly, you can set up a limp/raise. and if he never raises limps then you can limp a ton, etc.

 

as for being the BB to a SB limp, i like raising by default because in general, without any history, a limp is weak and they are just giving you chips and you should take them. it also makes the pot easier to win later as you start the hand by repping strength. not to mention the obvious fact that you should just want to be playing bigger pots with weak players when in position.

 

hope that made sense.
