.05/.1 Limp button with 53s? Cap flop?

[vixticator]

Is this right, or do I fold (or raise?)? Cap flop is spew or no? Check behind turn good or bad?

Confused about this one...

Not enough callers to limp with 53s OTB.

I would just call the flop. I don't want BB 3 betting and potentially knocking UTG out and charging us the maximum. I also want to preserve our implied odds when we hit. Lastly, alot of villains will check the turn if they didn't hit the flop, so you might get a free card anyway.

As played the flop cap doesn't really lose any money unless someone has a higher flush draw, however you lessen your implied odds if you hit. On the other hand you might get a free card. The problem is BB should be betting a blank turn when you cap the flop, since your hand looks alot like a draw, and he should probably check when a 3 flush card appears. This is the opposite of what you want to happen when you cap the flop.

I normally fold this will only two limpers.

Postflop is good.

I fold 53s PF 5-handed... is this 6-max?

postflop is great.

I don't play short-handed, I would call that with a couple of bets before me long-handed in the button. This is a highly speculative hand.
I would just call the 3-bet on the flop. The turn check is fine, you got your free card so take it. If these are weak-passive players you might bet to take the pot right there, but BB might raise if this is not the case.
The river is a fold. You have nothing.

fold pf.
flop raise is okay; i would tend not to though.
and flop cap is spew.

About the shorthanded comments, am I better off in full ring doing these things since I will have way more players in the pot? Except for medium pocket pairs I think I play post-flop well enough. Basically, can I expect less variance playing full ring?

[BigBadBabar]

yes
