Default Good or Bad preflop limp?

Typical low limit loose passive at party. Im sitting 1 off the button in lp and get dealt 610s. All 7 people in front of me limp so I decide to limp to figuring I have position, I can see the flop real cheap, and I'll probobly get paid off if I hit the flop w/so many people in the game.

Was this good or bad reasoning? Why?

Good reasoning, but still the wrong decision. Though you should play many more hands against weak players, especially if you can see the flop cheap, 6Ts is simply too weak a holding to commit chips with here. If you badly outplay your opponents after the flop, this hand might be a long-term winner, but it's much more likely that it has a -EV. Also, playing hands like this will add substantially to your variance. Fold this one and pick a better spot.

I fold it every time. Calling with T6s is way too loose for me.

Only real shot you have at winning it is hitting 2 pair, may be a flush.

If you hit your flush, it's 5th best one.

If you flop top pair, your kicker is weak.

If you hit a straight, it won't be the best one.

If it was T9s or T8s then I'd call.

This is a loose call. You're better off playing 1 or 2 gap suited in this position. Post flop this hand will be a world of hurt. If you were on the button and the CO limped w/the 7 limpers, you'd have a better debate.

I'd love to play this cheese in the SB for 1/2 bet.

Good reasoning, bad decision.

I'd fold that hand. Your best bet is two pair or a set on the flop and those aren't good enough odds for me. Plus you run into the possibility of Jxs, which is played often at the low limit game I usually play, and that would beat out your ten high flush. So even if you do flop the flush it may not be enough.
