Default Re: .05/.1 Limp button with 53s? Cap flop?

Not enough callers to limp with 53s OTB.

I would just call the flop. I don't want BB 3 betting and potentially knocking UTG out and charging us the maximum. I also want to preserve our implied odds when we hit. Lastly, alot of villains will check the turn if they didn't hit the flop, so you might get a free card anyway.

As played the flop cap doesn't really lose any money unless someone has a higher flush draw, however you lessen your implied odds if you hit. On the other hand you might get a free card. The problem is BB should be betting a blank turn when you cap the flop, since your hand looks alot like a draw, and he should probably check when a 3 flush card appears. This is the opposite of what you want to happen when you cap the flop.
