Default Re: Got married to my preflop raise, where should I get a divorce?

Let's go back to the preflop raise. If this is full-10 table, isn't there an argument for limping this hand instead?

We'd like to play multiway, so that if our straight or flush draws hit, we get LOTS of money from the table. Also, our hand has almost no showdown value if it doesn't pair. So do we really want to push people out of this pot and try to isolate one (or two) opponents who may have better showdown hands?

I realize the opponents seem a little weak, which makes it tempting for Hero to try to storm his way to victory. But even if that works, we get a pretty small pot for our trouble. Given what a great drawing hand this is, I'd rather limp in and see if Hero can hit big.
