Limper is a big fish and weak player. Should I raise, call, or fold since not being suited out of position is too big a disadvantage?

Call it. You're just slightly behind someone wiht 50% VPIP and ahead of the random range of hands BB could have; you certainly have equity to see the flop. Just be ready to get away from your hand if you think you're behind on the flop /images/graemlins/smile.gif

If calling isolated it to limper, "hero" and the blinds, and SB leads the flop with say 7 5 3 rainbow, all fold to hero..is this a quick fold? What about 7 5 2 rainbow? Easy enough for PP.50/1 but Im getting killed at 1/2.

Yeah, I forgot to post that. The BB is a reasonably good player. I haven't seen him do anything really bad but anything too good either. Pretty good starting hand considerations.

I don't like raising because this guy calls with anything on the flop and turn. So I have to hit an ace, which isn't especially likely. If I call, I can't bet a 3 for value, and with the good player in, I might be outkicked. I don't like folding, because this fish is just pouring his money away. All these decisions are close, so I guess it's not too big a deal? I want to exploit every situation I can, though.

We're SB here. Yes, we would lead out in a heartbeat.
