Stars $6.5 KJs button limp

[Uniqueuponhim]

Is this play too weak, or is it fine here? Also, should I just muck this preflop or is it alright to play from the button after a couple of limpers?

With that many limpers I don't think that limping on the button is that bad. The main thing is not to lose a lot of chips without 2 pair or better (or a good draw).

On the flop, even on that 3-flush board when you have TPGK and a gutshot I think you have to bet it. I bet 80 and see what action ensues.

As played, on the turn, I would call the bet. Why do you think that the 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] helped opp's hand?

It wasn't so much that I thought the 3c helped them, but that there was way too much villains could have that was beating me anyway. I just figured there'd be better opportunities to get my chips in later on. But you're right, a bet on the flop probably wouldn't be bad, as I can fold if I get someone check-raising me and not be out too much. Only question is, what do I do if I just get one or two callers? Continue playing assuming they have a heart?

Ah, I misread the board, I didn't see that CO called as well. Still, I think I'd call and see what river action ensues.

If you bet the flop and get 1-2 callers, I see what they do on the turn (remember you have position).
