I think this is a fairly easy hand to play. Limping PF is normal, raising is okay depending on the game. I limp here.

Raising the flop is far superior to waiting. Waiting is bad. All this talk these days on the forum about waiting for the turn...much of it is misguided. There are too many overcards that can come on the turn that would make you no longer like your hand, so you have to raise for value now. You don't gain significant equity if a "blank" comes on the turn. Plus, raising the flop gains information, which is what I like most about it in many situations.

Of course bet the turn, folding to a raise (unless a crazy player...).

Bet the river if checked to, call if bet into.

I think what I just said is Isura's line, but I also think it's standard.
