Raise PF. I'm not a big fan of open limping ANY pair in ANY position.

I think I probably call and lead turn here.

Bad advice. Open limping has it's place...esp. with small pairs.

This isn't full ring.

Duh?

You aren't going to find many people that agree with you here. Open limping has no place in 6 max.

I like a b/3b here. Try to get as much as possible before a third spade hits. Bad players will always slowdown if the flush just got made.

That isn't bad advice. Its not FR. I raise ALL pairs from ALL positions as its usually the best play for quite a few reasons.

How is open-limping 22 UTG at 6m better than open raising?

You take initiative in the hand so it will be easier to win the hand PF or on the flop with a c-bet. Playing the hand like this, all you are doing is hoping to flop a set as that is pretty much the only way you can win the hand.

You create a bigger pot if/when you flop a set so it will make it easier to get the money in the middle.

I'm sure there are a few more reasons, but I'm not thinking too clearly right now as I'm pretty tired.

Oh- another reason is that open limping UTG looks ugly and is fishy! lol.

It might not be better generally, but you have to take the table and your image under consideration. At this particular table there are many loose players (including 2 loose shortstacks) - look at how much play UTG+1 got on his pfr.

My point is if I raise UTG from this spot I'm likely going to get multiple callers (and probably not UTG+1-cause he's tight), including the loose shortstacks. In this situation c-betting the flop is just spew - particulary since they are probably already getting sick of me raising already.

Nobody said that if you get multiple callers PF that you have to make a c-bet on the flop. And whats wrong with getting multiple callers? That would make the pot big for the times you flop a set.

Well - one of the main reasons to raise is so you have initiate in the hand have the possibility to win it on the flop with a C-bet. That is just not likely to happen in this spot. Furthermore - as fishy as some of these guys are (not UTG+1) there is a good chance of getting their stacks (or a substantial portion thereof) in a unraised pot if I were to catch a set.

Everyone is so focussed on the PF - it is a no brainer for me. I'm liable to limp or raise with all kinds of stuff depending on table conditions and image considerations. I'm more interested in comments on the post-flop.

raise PF.

the flop you can do alot of things. Had the board been a bit drier, I think this is an easy call. It is possible that villan could be c/r-ing with AK[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] or something like that. I would raise here to $250 and shove a turn. I can see calling and shoving a turn though.
