I've seen him limp lead before. Am I suppose to call, raise or just let this go?

For real ?

I know I suck bvb and I know he's limp leading a ton. I think it's a fold but just checking.

I suck too, and not only bvb, but I can't see how a call can be good here with your hand.

If you think he will limp lead, and you consider bottom pair on an A high flop good enough to raise, you there seems to be value in raising preflop. 50/50

either raise pre flop and play flop aggressively if thats your read / or wait for a better situation to re-raise his lead. I think it's an easy fold

shove pf over habitual completers. i guess just fold as played.

pretty easy fold is it not? proly since you're always folding if villain leads to you unimproved on any future streets.

check preflp and fold flop. stacks are too shallow to raise/fold to the flop bet.

i like pushing preflop with just a little better hand, even something like 76o.

Wow you guys don't complete-and-steal much huh?

If villian limps a lot, I'll either reraise or float when an ace hits--depending on whether I think he's one of those that feels compelled to fire a 2nd barrel if I just call.

If this is the first time he's done this, then there's a much better chance he's being Mr. trappy-with-big-ace-guy, so I probably check-fold.

Shoving pre is FUGLY.
