Message: [QUOTE="RocwX, post: 4718053, member: 263681"] I wouldn't say limping was the correct play there, even though it worked for you. In most cases someone would raise and get a call or maybe get a 3-bet and then you would be facing the decision to play out of position with a worse hand that only rarely connects. You could also be in those situations where everyone limps after you and that's basically a bingo situation, whoever is the luckiest on the flop takes the chips. Also, of course people play 89s to hide a monster, but that is way easier to do by calling a raise from the button or maybe defending the big blind because then you already know how many players you're facing. Actually, the reason why I used 89s as an exemple was because the OP was asking about playable hands and I definitely belive 89s is playable, but from an early position you could be just throwing your chips away, since you're probably not going to call a 3-bet or an all-in.
