Jonathan Little teaches you how to exploit limpers in small stakes cash games. Learn proper isolation raising ranges, bet sizing strategies, and when to adjust based on opponent tendencies. Master the fundamentals of crushing weak players who limp too often.

Open limping is a major leak. Raise 4.5x in position with strong linear ranges. Adjust to opponent's limping frequency and tendencies.

Crushing Limpers: Essential Strategy Points

  • Open limping signals weak play - exploit it by raising 4.5x from position with strong linear ranges
  • Limp behind with implied odds hands like small pairs and suited connectors when multiple limpers are present
  • Check frequently on three-flush boards because limpers often have suited hands and potential nuts
  • Bet small and frequently on heads-up flops when you have range advantage over limping opponents
  • Late position limpers are less tricky than early position - they rarely have premium hands like aces or kings
  • Add one big blind to your raise size for each additional limper in the pot
  • Against straightforward limpers, use exploitative ranges wider than GTO to maximize value from their mistakes
