Default Re: UTG with 77

Sweet, this seems pretty straightforward. I did bet, and he called. Turn brought 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], and he checked, and I checked behind(?). He turned over 88, of course. Expert play there sir.

The first two streets are what I was most interested about.

Preflop, how many players do I need limp behind to make this call profitable? SSHE suggests 4 or 5 I think, but do I stick strictly to this in online 1/2 FR games? I like flopping sets.

Re 5/95 raise:call, that 5% you raise would suit tighter games, right?

Would you ever think about folding 77 UTG? Are there situations in typical online games where I should fold 77 UTG? I assume the more tighter and more likely we are to get 3bet, the more we should fold?

On the flop, My initial feeling was to check/fold, but I'm trying to open up a bit so I bet it. In retrospect probably better to take the check/fold option in this instance because we have less fold equity.

Just wondering if my logic behind these decisions is screwy or if I'm thinking properly (Can you tell I'm slipping into a downswing?)

thx
