Flop combo

[MrMysterious]

not gonna comment on what the right play is, cause i dunno.But To assume that your stacking him if you hit the straight here is probly not good.

I think raising small pocket pairs like this in general is a bad idea preflop. Could someone explain the merit of it to me I'm confused...you wanna see flops cheaply with them to try to bust aa/kk who cant get away from their hand, but whats your ideal situation against a limper's huge range?
I'm just looking for an explanation....anyway I usually bet this flop and call the turn. Just like you played it.

Check the stickies. Raising any PP in position is totally standard in a short-handed game, for tons of reasons (but there are cases where limping is fine, too).

this hand is pretty standard so far IMO. call the flop cr and see what happens on the turn.
