Ok, i limped and missed. Flop came K77, someone bet, and I folded. Postflop wasn't important.

I get these hands with medium preflop strength with a few limpers and wonder what I should do. If I'm going to be overtaken too frequently on the flop, there is not much value in raising preflop, I think 8's are close to that inflection point.

I was just wondering if anyone thought I had enough preflop equity to make a raise preflop, and possibly move all-in or pot it on the flop.

I would probably make a raise preflop with tens and up, and play it from there. Sound fine?


Also, I am playing short stacked on purpose. Being a limit player, I tend to make lots more crying calls than is appropriate at NL and therefore it kills my winrate.

Being shortstacked:

-Prevents me from being outplayed postflop. (I have the tendency to make bad calls if I've been the aggressor preflop)

-It is really easy to multitable NL with a shortstack.

-This is good for clearing bonuses.

-People may not notice my shortstack and play me like a deep stack opponent. They will make bad calls preflop, and this is where my money is made.
