In this hand I pickup the 55 from middle position. I almost never
limp into pots, except when I have what I call a ``monster-or-nothing''-hand (small pairs, small suited connectors).
The reason being I want to drag as much people with
me on later streets in case I hit hard, to be sure to be payed off.
When I don't hit, I just fold to any resistance.
Here is the hand, please tell me if I'm doing something stupid.
