Default Re: my first hand posted here

I don't know what the table was like passive / aggressive etc. But with 2 ep limpers, you need to be a bit suspicious. You have a good starting hand, but one that needs flop help, and plays well multi-way. Unless you think the blinds would raise, I would consider limping in on the button. You could then get away from an unfavourable flop without hurting your stack. And if you hit, you are in posiition in a multi-way pot.

That said, there is nothing wrong with a standard raise PF in your position, except you get just about pot comitted. Your small continuation bet on the flop looks suspicious, but prices them in, and with you short stacked, they know there is limited implied risk. A open push on the flop while reckless, would have had more folding equity.

I know the limp recommendation is pretty weak, but IMHO you are more likely to double up by seeing flops cheap and hitting, than by out manuevering big stacks when you are short and you miss.

JMHO
