If you’re playing in a game where people are limping in preflop, chances are that it’s a live game or against inexperienced players. It’s a rather uncommon play, especially against a full table of reasonably capable players. Even though it’s typically a poor move, playing against it can be difficult and confusing at times, as it’s something that most players rarely encounter.
The necessary adjustments aren’t always obvious. In this video, Ryan Fee talks about his approach to playing against limps, especially in live poker cash games. Having a good fundamental understanding and poker strategy prepared for dealing with limpers can be tremendously helpful the next time you buy in at your local card room.

Simplifying to illustrate often makes sense, but raising to $8 from the cuttoff in a 1/2 game and only getting 1 caller os so unrealistic, its pointless to consider.
You can tell he often is thinking faster than he's talking (interrupting his own thoughts, trailing off at the end of some more "random" thoughts), and increasing his volume when he's overly "into it". His content is great, but quite often, i'm not in the mood to wade through these idiosyncrasies. This is obviously just my opinion… many others are OK with it.
Got to Agree Eric. Terrible . Very bad speaker. Read his stuff don't listen to him. Horrible
Lucky he has Doug to do the speaking. Really bad speaker.
On what loveing planet in a $1/$2 NLHE live casino game and with limpers in front of you does a raise to $8 or $10 get it heads up, especially when from the cut off you still have extra players to even act???????? My experience you want it heads up you have to make it $25+ to go and you better reduce your range to top 4 starting hands AA KK QQ AKs< cause 3 out of 4 times any caller jams a rag rag rag partly connected flop on you.
With these guys, don’t waste your money betting more preflop in order to isolate the pot….they’re gonna loveing call especially after one other person called. Stick to your standard raise….if there’s already a raise and you’re thinking about three betting, it’s all in or just call. These loose games get frustrating, but if you have kings or aces then love ‘em. They’re gonna call a three bet with anything, especially with other callers involved. They play pot odds and suck out. Don’t give them that opportunity. Go all in or just call. Jacks especially. Not a great three bet in a loose game.
Ryan. You speak too fast and frequently jumble several words together making it hard to understand you.
how to play vs 100% limpers. the guy only play limp and other players keep giving money to him. he is already giant on chips and keep limping. what do you do?
Notice, this joker quit poker too. Upswing Scam Bullbad
Limp suited 1 gappers and suited connectors and lower pairs with them, 3-bet premium hands. I have burned my stack by 3-betting marginal hands in position. The problem comes when there are other aggressive 3-betters on the table.
