Why do you constantly minraise and limp?

Stop

Raise preflop. As played, just fold imo.

Is this a joke.. fold is by far the worst option on the flop.

SB is leading into 3 people on that board where we have 10 outs at very best (read: rarely), often fewer, and often only 4 clean outs.

I see nothing wrong with folding here.

First of all, IMO limping a small pp is seldom a terrible play. I am not antilimping like some here, and I think limping may be better than raising here.

Secondly, I would fold the flop. You have a pair and an OESD, but your hand is not good multiway.

I agree in general that open-limping small PP isn't terrible, but from HJ, I open-raise every hand I want to play. As played, fold the flop...

If you open raise, what do you do to a reraise? Isn't there some advantage to limping when a resteal puts you in a bad situation.

I could easily fold to a re-raise, but my decision to open-raise depends on whether opponents CO-&gt;BB are re-steal-happy or not. If they are aggressive, I'd rather fold a small PP here than open-limping.

To turn things around, what do you do if someone raises your limp to say 1600? Calling a raise for set value is not really good with these stack sizes. And what flop textures do you hope for when you open-limp and likely to create a multiway flop? Re-stealing is getting more and more common, but you'll still take down the pot quite often by simply open-raising.

First of all, I would usually raise here, but I don't think the limp is bad.

If you limp and get raised, you can fold cheaply, push as a semibluff, or see a flop. If you flat call, obviously you can't always fold if you miss a set. If you limp and get raised, you have 3 reasonable options, so this is not a bad situation.

Please raise preflop....you have a nice stack, good position, and a pair. I would never play so passively in this spot.
