Default NL10 Preflop Question

I run into this situation a lot. I have been trying different things here. How do others play this? Does your line change if limpers are UTG or if there are more limpers? Hero could be in cutoff in this scenario also.

Thanks,

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

SB ($18.25)
BB ($5)
UTG ($8.85)
UTG+1 ($13.15)
MP1 ($9.15)
MP2 ($9.15)
MP3 ($4.50)
CO ($3.60)
Hero ($9.90)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls $0.10, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP3 calls $0.10, <font color="#666666">[i]1 fold, Hero?

with this hand, doesn't matter where I am, doesn't matter how many limpers there are, I fold!

I raise this to steal the blinds on BTN when it's folded to me.

Easy fold from any position. If its suited I call it in late pos or steal the blinds.

I call on the button (but I call with all but my very worst hands from the button). I fold from CO.

I love cheap flops from the button.

I'd fold it with two limpers. What do you expect to hit?

Well I hope to flop quads on every hand, duh! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Wouldn't that make life easy. No, just a flop that a small PP or SC couldn't call a cbet with.

Noone would say, uhm, raise? How about if it were suited?Sorry going against FR nit ethos (pathos?) here. I really don't like limping and I'm not doing this with calling stations or every opportunity I get. Mostly just against the weak tighties who limp.

There are all kinds of things you can hit here. You can pair one of your cards or even take it down with air if no one seems to like the flop. Playing in position means you'll lose less with a 2nd best hand and make more when you have the best hand.

Sure our hand is weak, but we'll have some idea of how good we are since we get to act last. I don't like raising because our hand is easily dominated and we have little info as to what the other players have. Seeing how they react to a flop should help us out a lot though.

We don't have to win much here to make calling profitable.

I never raise unless I KNOW I can isolate a TRUE fish. Blinds MUST fold, all but fish limpers MUST fold. That's alot to ask at 10NL.

I will call on occaision...usually fold. The thing is, in NL, the WORST thing you can have is an above average hand and you have the makings of an above average hand. Lots of flop will cause you to spew chips.
