TOPIC: Middle Position
QUESTION:You have the J-T. The player on your immediate right, in early position, limps in. What do you do?
ANSWER:Fold. Don't limp in with jack-ten offsuit from middle position when only one player has limped in ahead of you and there is still more than half the table yet to act. The likelihood of the pot getting raised with this many players behind you is too high to play a weak, speculative drawing hand like this. If you call and it gets raised, you will be obliged to call the raise, resulting in you having to pay two bets to take a flop. If your hand were suited, then you could play. If you were in a later position with more players limping in, then you might have a play.

It's the Most Players to Play at One Time on One Site, Ever
PokerStars hit a stunning milestone Sunday, Dec. 30, when 150,000 players logged onto the site to play poker. That's approximately 20,000 tables running at once (PokerStars runs hundreds of shorthanded games). There's nowhere near that number of tables at brick-and-mortar casinos in the entire United States.
The achievement took place during the $1,050 Sunday Million, when it was daylight in America and prime time in Europe. That tournament alone had 1,800 players. The $11 Sunday Hundred Grand reached its player-cap of 20,000.
PokerStars first hit the 100,000 mark in February of 2006. In May of the same year, it dealt its five-billionth hand, an achievement that took a little more than five years. A year later, the site celebrated its 10-billionth hand.
The site also saw more than 3,400 of its players earn more than 100,000 Frequent Players Points each, granting them Supernova status at the site. Nearly 40 players earned at least 1 million points in 2007, making them Supernova Elite players.
