-SB has .50 behind after his raise
-First raise ok? Anyone cap now?

I'd limp preflop the first time

[Montrealcorp]

id limp as well preflop,u want other behind u to calls,
i would raise preflop if i was on the button or CO with like
4 callers in front.

u should only cap if they play really bad,like even its obvious u have a straight or flush ,they will call with 3rd or bottom pair multiway pot etc...

[Buzz-cp]

Nope.

To encourage overlimpers or because you don't think you have the equity to raise?

People calling down liberally is a reason not to bloat the pot, not vice versa.

I'm down with the raise. Lately I've been raising any two suited broadway after any number of limpers.

I call the 3-bet.

I know what you are getting at with the possible cap, but I don't think your hand is that good, even if SB is racking off.

[00Snitch]

To add...

Even when players rack off their last few bets preflop, its normally with something like an Ace, two high cards or a pair. You don't fair too well vs that range.

I don't raise with three limpers in front w/ QTs. It's a hand I'd like to see a flop with against multiple opponents, or raise a single weak limper when I have position.

I limp along with the rest and hope to see a flop cheaply. As played, I just call the 3-bet, as we're not getting it heads up and we already have second best position. MP3 is calling the cap after cold calling the initial raise. We've already invested too much money with a potentially dominated hand, and are relying heavily on straight and flush possibilities.

I just limp normally. If you were a seat or two later, I'd be more tempted to raise to buy the button. Although if you do raise and get cold callers, it's not that bad. I don't cap either.
