easy raise utg, who cares if it's 4 till the money, you're trying to maximize your expectation, not just make the money.
Edit: The reason I say raise is that the blinds and antes are valuable to your stack, I believe there's more value in raising than trying to play postflop against the blinds and any other limpers. |

so really, ur saying that raising a wide range of hands here is profitable bc of the antes, I just think if u get played back in any way 99 has no value here so u might as well be bumping up 23o
However i guess u might be able to get people off of better hands on giving flops, but u can do that with any two |

Id raise, alot of people are going to fold their marginal hands so close to the money.. so youll mostly take down the pot right there.

I'd just ship it in there. You have 13 BBs, I hate raise/folding with that stack and pushing is definitely +EV.

Are you asking specifically about this hand or just in general? If you're asking about this hand....you're on the bubble, I like a raise here. The only hands that are going to war are those that are way ahead of you. In general I think the play is case specicfic. I will usually raise 75% and limp 25% of the time.
