I prefer limping preflop because it helps me to avoid making postflop mistakes. I don't like big pot poker OOP with a weak offsuit ace.

Your postflop edge decreases as the number of players in the pot increases. When you reach about 3 players to beat, I think your postflop skill is basically null as you will need to show down the best hand to win.

i would of raise,u probably have the best hand,especially vs all those blinds

those are blinds not callers, more chance then usual that som eof them will fold

Meh, raise it. Whatever. You play better than them post flop right?

I am going to estimate that you have a tiny edge here. So raise or complete probably doesn't make much difference.

those are not caller but blinds..
AT offsuit plays badly multiway pot,i would raise since any fold will make your hand better,less player in the pot is better for u.
If they were normal caller, i would never raise in this spot

the thing is ... it doesn't matter if you raise or not ... you have value to raise but the value of your holding if reduced in strength due to your position

if you think any of these guys are folding - you're nuts (they've already told you that they are retards waiting to give you their money) ... you'll have much better spots to take it from them than this

FWIW I agree that the EV difference is small in either case but the thought processes behind each are worth talking about.
