Small blind limping?

After clearing the paradise bonus, I moved to Casino.net(full 10NL) to earn their bonus. At this site everybody limps in, and most players play passsive when I play there during the day. My question is about limping from the small blind ----- how many limpers does it take to play from the sb? what cards?

there is usually 4-6 limpers before I act at the small blind and the big usally never raises.
Anyone been playing Casino.net?
Irish?
thanks

Harrington says almost any 2 cards are limpable there. You just have to know how to maximize when you actually hit the miracle flop.

I assume you play ring game, With 4-6 limpers any 2 cards are good if you know the BB usually checks.

However you have to have a lot of discipline postflop and know how to avoid 2nd best hand.
The problem with limping J4 is not the actual limp but knowing how to get out of the hand on a J62 flop when you are outkicked

Thank you both.
I have been limping in at the sb and was worried it might have been a bad play(leak).

If it makes you play mediocre hands wrongly when you see the flop, better fold anything but your standard hands.

Top pair no kicker in a 5 way limped pot is easy to get away from.
The problem is knowing how to get away when the flop is KJ4, or JJ5 when you are outkicked.

I agree with this. Unless you're really confident in your ability to play mediocre hands OOP then limping alot of cards in the SB could be -EV for you. Even with tons of limpers.

2 reasons:
1) Bad cards have reverse implied odds. For ex. if you have 83o and the flop comes down 88T and you get loads of action you could be loosing lots of $$.
2) Its hard to play marginal hands against these types of players because all they do is call and its very hard to know if your ahead. You'll find yourself betting down to the river alot then finding out that other people have higher kickers etc.

I'd recomend tightening up somewhat.
