No reads.
Sorry for what seems rather simplistic i guess, but this does seem to be a leak of mine as im really not sure at all what to do here preflop.
Seems like a raise could take control of the hand, and possibly get it heads up.
it also turns an open bet with one overcard in to a continuation bet oop with a decent chance of taking down the pot on the flop, where on most ragged flops im likely ahead.
worth it?

the problem here is "No reads."
for that reason I'll limp.
depending on other factors, i might raise.
but reads are key.
like, will bb fold to a raise pf?
does UTG suck postflop?
are they weak and will they fold to a flop bet?
