also, i prefer a limp with cards bigger than 45. Tough to make a winning hand with those.

T7 type stuff would be fun limping material.

With 45 i would raise REALLY REALLY BIG so everyone folds.

i dunno, i think this is a spot that he would lead into you with a flush, seeing as how you've shown mad strength. many players would semibluff the turn if they picked up extra outs, but its not a guarantee, especially if you dont have reads

Its pretty close. About 40% he the flush imo. Depends how often you think he can have bigger two pair, but probably not too likely if he's bad. I think you seem something dumb like 78 enough to call this..

The only reason I hesitate to fold is that this could be a blocking bet with Ax or something, but I still think I fold, mostly because it looks exactly like he has a flush.

As for PF, there are definitely spots where this can be good. If the guys don't aggressively defend their blinds (i.e. you very rarely get raised), why not take a cheap flop in position?

Besides, durrrrrrr does it, so it must be ok.
