Default push, call or fold?

First hand of a micro SNG.

You're dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Cut off.

3 limpers to you, you limp. Button folds, Sb folds BB checks.

Flop is A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] x [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

BB bets the pot, couple of folds, one caller. (Pot is 775)

So, do you

Call

Fold

Push

Some other raise?

fold preflop, you don't want to open limp (or raise) so lightly. As played I am pushing w/ tp (which might not be good) and NFD. Also it's a limped pot so tpwk is good a decent amount of the time w/ BB fires out.

lol at the idea that BB checks his option w/ KK or JJ and that's the read we have on him.

Are you guys crazy? First level of a micro-stakes SNG, 3 limpers before you, and you won't limp Axsooted in LP? With 3 other limpers in the pot i think this is +++EV all day all night. I think this is so standard.

Playing ace rag in the first 3 blind levels is bad, chop up some potatos, some onions, boil up some broth, and you've got a nice spew [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

As played, cream your shorts/instashove

Maybe i'm in the minority, but at this level of players (awful), i absolutely love Axsooted with THREE limpers in front of me. I think there is 'flush value' here the same way that one limps for 'set value' with 33 if there are 3 limpers in front. Our implied odds are so good when we hit.
