Can you give me an example of a hand that's good for limping?

[Mike_25]

A solid hand for limping into a pot is a pair of sixes or better. Holding eights or nines of mixed suits will also work for a cautious play. With these modest yet dependable begunnings, few players will subject you to a raise, assuming you to possess nothing of consequence. Patience and judicious betting is the strategy here, gradually building the pot through others’ mistakes while masking your strength. Opportunity will come knocking should a prime hand arise.

There are no hands that are always good for limping. The best hand to limp with depends on a number of factors, including your position, the size of the pot, and the players involved. Small pocket pairs (77, 88, 99). These hands have a lot of potential to improve, and they can be played profitably even if they don't make a set. Suited connectors (7-8 suited, 9-10 suited). These hands have the potential to make straights and flushes, which are very valuable hands.
