dont limp on the button with jack 3 off suit.

This seems wrong to me. Which option do you think is better?

If you know the guy is checking back the vast majority of the time, calling definitely seems better than folding. I realize J3o is a terrible hand, but you have the button against a random hand.

Do you think raising is better? That doesn't sound right to me either, but I'd be interested in arguments why.

personally i NEVER limp on the button, but limping with jack 3 off suit is just horrible.

what are you achieving by doing it?

never limpin the button is a mistake unless you never play passive calling stations (which would be a second mistake). it achieves a cheap flop where you can outplay the other guy, making up for your weak starting hand, whilst a preflop raise achieves dick all, except inflating the pot with a worse than average hand.
