I actually like the way you played this hand. I think you played it just fine, except maybe a little aggressive on the river. Maybe better line would be to just stop'n'go a second time on the river.

If you are going to play this from the SB, raise it. You want the BB to fold. Limping with this hand is a kiss of death.

Personally I'm mucking it.

Just curious as to you reasoning for raising here. You are in the worst position against a button limper. I realize you want BB to fold, but isn't this hand a little too marginal to be raising with from the blinds?

Hence his comment, "Personally I'm mucking it."

I think the order of preferred actions here is fold, raise, and (a distant third) calling.
