Basically I want to know if pf is alright. I imagine it's marginal at best.. flop I'm pretty confident it correct..

PF is fine with all those limpers.
Flop is good. Turn a red K or 8 and go to town.

PF is ok..

Flop, the pot is already starting to grow w/ just the 7 limpers and there is 9SBs in the pot when it gets to you. I raise the flop for a free card. With the right villians, you can can even rep the flush if it comes in on the turn, but that is player specific.

PF is good ...

I probably raise the flop (if I could get a freecard) ... if this guy is aggro then I would just call

If the flop was all spades how would you play it?

if all spades ... you have to discount heavily ... and think about how light either of these guys call or bet with

does the CO need a spade to call with ... or will he call with complete garbage (relative to the board)

Probably in that case don't want to reopen the action.

I'd play it the same. Without reads not sure raising the flop for a free card is worth it, with the ignorant end and a flush draw on board our equity isn't as good, plus this board hits limpers pretty hard and gives them a chance to get agressive, reducing our chance of a free card, lastly by just calling we preserve our implied odds and get to blast them with a turn raise when we hit.

Another important point about pf is that if people just limp into a poster they usually also have drawing hands, so you'll tend to get more free turns than normal and will be more likely to win if you hit just a pair of T's or 9's.
