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.

Pocket pairs such as 77, 88, and 99 are good hands to limp with because they have a lot of potential to improve. They can make two pair, trips, or even a full house. Suited connectors. Suited connectors such as 7-8 suited and 9-10 suited are also good hands to limp with because they have the potential to make straights and flushes.
