a. in a very loose passive table, this makes for a good multiway hand. We expect the pot will be not raised and people will be coming in with lots of junk hands, sooted crap, etc. As such, there is good equity in limping. We're playing it mostly for the flush draw value. It is 7.5:1 of flopping 2 or more of the suit.

b. if we flop top pair crap-kicker, we have outs to two pair (see hidden outs on SSHE), and we may have the best hand. again, the pot will be biggish with all those loose players playing crappy hands.

c. if we flop top pair with 2-flush board, we have to be pretty careful about continuing. This is like a check & evaluate the action.

d. taking a hand like this still depends on a lot like the board texture, the opposition, the post-flop action, etc etc.
