raise preflop here?

[Leobzook]

In 6 max a couple of half stack limpers to you in the BB with 77. Is it better to check or raise here?

The opponents are fishy and its unlikely you will take it down with a raise preflop although possible

check, you are not likely eliminating many and you will be OOP the entire hand.

what is the minimum pair you would raise?

[wallywojo]

I like to have tt plus in the spot, also I like to raise a little more than standard as well. Playing OOP is just too much guesswork with mid PP without great reads.

How fishy are the opponents postflop?

I'll raise this probably about half the time, and then work from reads after the flop (depending on how many calls I get). Depending on the table, I'll sometimes raise any pair from any position, especially if I'm first in. I've found that playing on FT, a cbet will take down most pots, so I tend to pick up a lot of small pots and then play for stacks when I hit hard. I'm pretty aggressive preflop, though, and I raise a lot of pots, so you might get different mileage.
