should I have just seen a flop?

[pearljam]

In retrospect I think I should have just limped in here, with the limper UTG and all, thoughts?

I have no problem with your push.
As long as you're changing up what you do throughout your play...you're fine.
You could see a flop and hope for a set. Or push.
Here it won you 200 uncontested. If you didn't sense a big hand out there...I like it.

I push it just like you did at the 22s. Sometimes you will find UTG limped aces, and you are dead, but most times it's just some mope with KT or some other junk.

And remember, look at this. Here, you picked up t200 without showing your hand. This is good. You like this. This is profitable. This is a great outcome for you. If you can push and not show your hand here 30-40% of the time, and aren't dominated most of the rest of the times, I do the same.

I don't understand why you are second guessing yourself here. If you just limp, you're only hope in what would be a five way pot, would be to flop a six. And that'll happen only 12% of the time. If you don't flop a six, you're done with the hand. You saw what the whole table thought of their hands, and rightly pushed IMO.
