Poker RFI with Limpers?

[Erik343]

I have preflop charts from PokerCoaching.com

One chart is RFI and the other is vs a raise. Assume you’re on the button…
How do I handle vs limpers then?
That is neither RFI nor a raise!

Do you guys have a chart for that?

There are no charts for that.
You simply have to adjust your raise size if you are going to raise.
But of course it depends on what kind of opponents you are up against. It they just limp every hand and call most raises then you have to adjust to that as well.

If you are playing a bunch of Limpers you are going to have to learn how to play multi-way pots which is way different than heads-up and this goes beyond just charts. Learning charts is super important but learning player types is just as important.

Limpers? It must be micro stakes. Never ever limp yourself. It is what calling stations and cash cows do.
But here’s an example: Three limpers. You have ATs on the “money button” in a 6-handed cash game. Limping indicates that the players want to see a cheap flop with speculative or semi good hands. They can’t be thinking players since they limp. A normal openraise would be 3BB, but with the limpers I’d raise 6BB (Standard 3BB plus one for each limper.) Make them pay to stay. Even with multiple Villains seeing the flop, you deploy all three attributes in The Tripple Threath:
Position
Hand Selection
Aggression.
You should be in good shape take down the pot - probably after your turn bet of 33-66% of the pot. Be more cautious on a wet board with reverse implied odds.
In short: Skilled players don’t limp.

RFI are the hands that you are going to open in a certain position, when there is limp you become ROL.

All charts and courses advise that you add at least 1 BB per limper.

Example 9 handed table:

UTG, HJ and CO limp, so the calculation of your button raise should be something at leasr like 2.3 x 1bb + 3 x 1bb (one bb per limper) = 5.3 bb.
This may reduce the field, but not in today's micro limit games, the goal of such a raise should be to thin out the field.
That is mostly the intention of a raise in a tournament.
But nowadays most micro gamblers see it as an invitation to gamble with any crap behind.
