HU your implied odds aren't good enough to call a raise hoping to flop a set. Limp is fine, fold when raised.

I don't play on tilt, but I probably fold 77 from utg+1 on stars at t50 at least half the time, unless I'm at a passive table. You definitely need to fold to the raise hu, as you probably won't stack a single opponent.

Limp is NOT fine, it's terrible. Definately fold pf. 8-9 handed this is a fold all the way to the CO IMO, then depending on reads maybe a steal raise. My pf range here is JJ+ and AK. A raise would be better here than limping, but still in the terrible range.

As played what else could you really do?

[IFoldPktOnes]

I don't see how a raise here is better than limping. I'd fold preflop also.

[sippin_criss]

leeeeeeaaaaak. fold twice please.

[ADLinden]

yea this is a def fold

[AMT]

open fold pf, and for sure fold to the reraise.

At the $6.50's you can usually limp this stuff from any position. %80 of the time you'll see a super-cheap flop with at least two other players, so you have a good chance of opponents catching part of the flop when you hit your set.

I'm not open-folding low pairs until the blinds are at least %5 of my stack. With ~24BBs, I think a limp is good, but definitely fold to any standard raise.

Open fold and fold to reraise.
I usually limp pp´s when there´s anothers limpers in the hand.
