I think this is totally wrong. If limping is -ev, it is only slightly so, assuming that the OP is capable postflop and that the other players are not. I'm not saying that I necessarily advocate limping as opposed to folding pf, but I think that raising is a total spew and limping is, at worst, only a minor error. If the other players are indeed capable postflop, then ok, limping is almost certainly wrong, but what 6-12 game has 5+ capable postflop players?

Personally, I usually limp here preflop even with the table conditions listed because I will a) win the most when I am ahead and b) lose the least when I'm behind postflop. I don't know whether or not that is a very slight spew, but even the tight 6-12 or 10-20 players I play with are pretty clueless postflop and won't accurately punish me when I'm actually dominated.

As for the actual hand in question, I am a little uncertain what the flop was. Was it T52 with 2 diamonds? Or T52 with one diamond? Either way, I probably play it the same as the OP except that I check the river and see what the button does. If he bets, I use reads to determine whether I call or fold.
