As soon as I bet this, I didn't like it, as it was $2 less than my stack. Obviously should have pushed. I didn't really plan this hand through start to finish, so I feel I could've done better...

Aside from leaving yourself a $2 stack, this hand is fine. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Looks fine, though some people, including me, would prefer betting out on this flop.

I tend not to get tricky in limped pots. Although there's so many people behind you that a bet is probable, I'm still firing.

[pfapfap]

Yeah, that was the other thing, I figure if I bet at it, I can get more callers and possible a raise behind me. If that's the case on the flop, do I want to re-pop it right then to give draws the improper odds, or is it better to take that chance in order to get a big bet in on the turn?

Heheee! Maybe I am idiot but correct me if its huuuuugggge mistake.

I would raise it preflop to 5$. It looks like most of limpers have limped with PP or SC and they cant call my huge bet with PP for set value. And the UTG is dead poster (he may have any2 - dead money) Only 4 living player, probably you take the pot down now.

This used to work for me quite well, but a lot of players have gotten wise to overbets from the blinds and will call or play back.
