LWPC: Limped With Previous Callers

Limping is the act of calling an un-raised pre-flop pot. LWPC is the frequency with which a player calls, when at least one player has already limped and the pot is still un-raised. As a rule of thumb, winning poker players avoid limping in most cases. If you believe your hand is better than the other players, raise. If you believe your hand is worse, fold.

However, there are exceptions. For example, it makes sense to limp from late position with hands that have a decent chance to become strong on the flop (i.e., hands with high implied odds). For example, As3s isn't particularly powerful on its own, but it has a good chance to hit a flush or straight draw. With many other players already in the pot, it can win a lot of money when it hits. If it misses completely, it can easily be folded on the flop.
