CO (t2050)
Button (t1340)

<font color="gray">UTG folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t100, <font color="gray">MP1 folds</font>, <font color="red">Hero ? </font>

i could limp for setvalue but i probably have to fold to a shove anyway, and my stack is to healthy for a shove.

thoughts?

I muck too. I actually never limp at 50/100. Is this correct?

all levels have scenarios where a limp is the most EV.

Id never fold this pre flop. No prob with limping. Implied odds are huge at this level. People love to get carried away with top pair or two pair.

Woops. Care to give an example of a good limp situation at 50/100?

Limping for set behind a limper at this level is okay as other Limper has 20BB as well. They only way I would fold this spot is if there was a know pushbot in the blinds behind me.

I never limp here, and basically never limp at all in this level unless theres some unusual circumstances like a ton of limps. I like a fold, a limp isn't terrible but I think its going to induce shoves very often with multiple limpers and you definitley can't call.

The more passiver the table at these levels, the more likely I am to limp behind. I don't like raising because you have a moderately healthy stack as is and tossing in 400 PF and then c/b would really hurt your stack. And you're too healthy to shove.
