Re: ATo in BB with BTN limp and SB complete
36K is no good, if you get two callers, you are giving one of your opponents a ballooned pot and it's going to suck. You rarely don't get called here and you'd have to play OOP. If button calls your limp, his range is really wide and it's goign to be hard to cont. bet.
Proper play here, IMO, is to push or check. 40K in the pot and button has 180K, opponent less. It's greater than 20% of either stack. You're not worried about your stack here, just there's. It's like "I have 4k, he has 2K, so I'm deep, I call." Who cares if you have 4K, when he has 1.7K left in a 400 pot...
Button is probably limping now because he's pretty healthy and is no trying to see a flop cheap. However, you really don't know this for sure. He probably is afraid of a three bet and is limping with JT or 66 or JQ or something along those lines. If I had 250K or something, I would push. With my stack, I think I check. But table dynamics and feel are verything here.
I'd say push and check are close here. Def. not a raise to 36K.
