Live poker tables are full of limpers. As a result, learning to play effectively against limpers is a crucial part of becoming a successful live player.
In this article, I'll break down how to react to limps from one of the most important positions: the cutoff. We'll take a look at some general things to consider when constructing your own ranges, and then use some example ranges to serve as a rough guide.
How To Play The Cut-off Without Limpers
Before we consider our strategy against limps, we have to consider what a standard live cut-off opening range looks like. As we face three-bets at a much lower frequency in live poker, we can justify opening a fairly large range of hands. Here's an estimated 36 percent cut-off opening range as recommended by The Poker Lab:
The way that we adjust this range against limpers depends on a number of factors:
• How loose are our opponents?
Our range should be adjusted according to the limping ranges of our opponents. If we are up against opponents that limp an extremely wide range of hands, we can raise more frequently than if we're facing tight limpers.
• What are the stack sizes?
If there are any short-stacked players which have limped in front of us, we have to be cautious when selecting our hands to raise with. Suited connectors and weak Broadway hands will play poorly against smaller stacks, while medium to strong pocket pairs and strong Broadway combinations will do well against them. We don't want to get limp/re-raised and have to fold often in these situations, so your range should be weighted towards stronger holdings that do well in low SPR spots.
• What positions are our opponents limping from?
The earlier the limper's position, the tighter we should play. If we face an under-the-gun open-limp followed by a number of calls, we should consider tightening our raising range as it will be difficult to isolate players. We need to raise with hands which can play well in multiway pots by retaining their equity in them. The opposite is true for late position limps, which we can attack with a relatively wide range.
• Do our opponents have a limping AND a raising range?
Usually players that mix it up between limping and raising preflop do the same thing: they limp weak to medium-strength hands and raise with strong ones. We can easily exploit this by raising often against their weak limping range.
• What can we get away with post-flop?
Post-flop tendencies matter too. If we are up against players that often fold to continuation bets and multiple barrels, we can exploit them by raising a wide range over their limps. Conversely, if our opponents are calling stations and float with a very broad range of hands, we should consider tailoring our range to being more value-heavy.
• How often will we get preflop folds?
If our opponents will limp/fold frequently, raising from later positions with a wide range will be profitable as we can scoop up dead money.
• Will we get limp/re-raised or three-bet often?

If the limper has shown a tendency to limp/re-raise, we should tighten our raising ranges. Because preflop raises will be larger when there are numerous limpers in the pot, three-bets will usually be bigger as a result. This means that you will not be able to defend call the three-bet as often, so you will need to tighten your raising range to avoid over-folding to three-bets. (This is rare in live poker, but adjust accordingly if you notice that it is happening.)
Playing Our Range Versus ‘Standard' Limping Ranges
Once we've considered these factors, we can begin to decide how we can most appropriately play our range. Against a ‘standard' limping range, the range outlined below will be a good starting point:
The hands in red will function as profitable raises against a normal limping range. The suited connectors included will realise their equity very well, whilst our Broadway combinations are strong enough to bet for value post-flop. The hands in pink can be either raised with or called with depending upon the dynamic of the table.
Playing Our Range Versus Tight Limping Ranges
The tighter range below can be used when you are up against tighter opponents, shorter stacks or are being aggressively three-betted: Metode de trista la poker tournaments.
Playing Our Range Versus Loose Limping Ranges
Against a field which is limping a wide range of hands, we can raise a wide range of hands profitably from the cutoff. A number of suited connectors are included in this raising range as they will realise their equity well.
Remember, when developing a strategy versus limpers from late positions, you must consider the following:
• How loose are our opponents?
• What are the stack sizes?
• What positions are our opponents limping from?
• Do our opponents have a limping AND a raising range?
• What can we get away with post-flop?
• How often will we get preflop folds?
• Will we get limp/re-raised or cold three-betted often?
The ranges included here can be used as a guideline when building your own. Remember to be fluid in these ranges and change them accordingly to the dynamic of the table. ♠

Just 71 survived to Monday's Day 2 to play down to the nine-handed final table. At this point, each player remaining in the US Bracket is guaranteed at least $98,813. The top two finishers will earn over a million dollars, with $1,553,256 going to the winner.
The final table, as we have explained in previous articles, will be contested live at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. The World Series of Poker is contacting the nine players to help make travel arrangements so they can make it to Vegas for the December 28 United States finale.

The International Bracket winner will fly to Las Vegas to face off against the US Bracket champ in a winner-take-all heads-up match.
What that winner will take is an extra $1,000,000 on top of what they already won in their tournament bracket. And, of course, that person will be name the World Series of Poker Main Event champion and earn the coveted Main Event bracelet.

The heads-up match will take place on December 30 at the Rio, two days after the completion of the US Bracket final table. If, by chance, the winner of the International Bracket is not 21-years-old, since the legal gambling age is lower in Europe, the heads-up contest will likely be moved to another country.
