I've been playing alot of really low limit games and on the blinds I find preflop I'm getting 9:1 on my SB calls and such, and on the BB 6:1 is not terribly uncommon, so I've been seeing alot of flops with godawful hands, and generally just tossing them on the flop.

Anyway, does anyone have any numbers on what hands to limp from the SB facing no raise and X limpers if I'm playing for 2 pair or the set or better? Generally I'll call anything suited connectors almost always, suited at 4:1, connected at 5:1, 1-gapped at 6:1, and any junk at 8:1.

I might run some sims and check this out.

You still want to be s00ted and/or connected to make these plays.

Hands like J3o will pay-off too much and the pot size prevents you from winning the max if you just play for 2pair or better.

Yah, anything suited generally from the SB and possibly anything connected. In the BB you are still getting a discount but I usually stick to the higher suited and connectors.
