Just make your standard button open. 240 is good.

I'd probably limp 22-88 and raise 99+. Blinds are still low so theres no reason to invest so much of your stack when your hand isn't that strong.

I don't like limping here at all. I'd prefer to openfold..

Thats probably ok as well, but I'm never folding 99+ and most likely not 88. 77 and below yeah thats an option.

Just to be clear, I'm saying raise, not fold. But IMO fold > limp. I might fold 33-22 here sometimes.

Limp it. Great implied odds. Don't like the raise unless you know the blinds to be tight.

I like the 2.5x raise here. If someone in the blinds were going to raise, but not 3-bet, they'll play for your price. If you limp, they could make it cost 4x when you want to play your hand. So my smallish raise is enough to take down the blinds if their hands suck, and with most of the hands someone would open-raise with, they will only a call a raise with, so it costs less to play this hand.

Therefore, 2.5x
