anything other than a limp preflop is throwing money away. folding would even be better than raising.

as played, check/fold the flop

fwiw - the turn and river were played well

WTF? Always play small and medium PPs for set value only early on, meaning a raise is no-no, especially in MP and with a limper.

Limp behind, try to hit a set, check/fold when missed.

Is it also correct to limp small pp's if no one has limped before me assuming table isnt ultra-aggressive or anything?

should be fine at lower stakes. at the higher stakes it is generally a mistake to open limp small pocket pairs from ep.

judging by the quality of play in the hands hes posting im assuming these are $5 or less. Limp away with any pair, call a raise if 3 or more people are in and just fold if you dont flop a set
