IAmABuggyBot ???

I really hate top 2 beacuse there really isn't a turn card that makes me happy (except for my 4 boat outs). mary_k is a LAG and Jungle boy is an ATM. What is your play?

Goop, my vpip is about 24ish lately. Keep in mind I have become almost strictly a limit player in the last month. Generally, if I am going to play a weak hand in LP it's going to be a weak low hand, or a mix hand with a high pair. Not always, and I will limp with a hand like this one on occasion, but I'm almost always put in a bind like you were when I do (note to self -- stop doing that).

I'd be happier with 2456, KK24 or A467 in LP than 8TJQ. I try to think of these hands as if they were small pairs in holdem - set it (or str8 it in this case) or forget it. I also like Kuso's PFR thought, I think that has some definite merit, at the very least from a metagame standpoint. Raise this and get to showdown and you'll get some action when AA2x comes your way.
