In these turbos ppl call everything so u might just limp and see the flop cheap. What do others think?
If you raise and the flop doesnt hit, you cbet and they call that like 80% of the time. So if flop brings overcards and they are aggressive just check/fold that.

Lots of people will tell you to limp. I prefer a raise personally.

This early in the STT, TT is my cutoff hand for raising/limping. I would just limp, especially with one limper already, but I suspect either is ok.

depending on who is left to act, i may just limp. If there isn't calling stations behind me, I'm raising.

I tend to call here but raising is fine if you feel good about playing a bigger pot post flop against the villain with a medium strength pair.

I raise in spots like this every time. I'd limp behind if the limp was from EP, but here I'm raising. People calling too much is a good thing. You have a premium hand, in position, that doesn't need to improve on the flop.
