A field of low, no aces out, and all my cards are live. My pair is hidden, and slightly better than tens! Since greenage's HH caused so much controversy, how about my limp here?

Jackpot! (I've been saving up for that pun)

Do I risk a free card or bet out? I'm fairly confident at least one of the people behind me hit a 4low and will bet, but I didn't want to risk a free card. I was also hoping to be raised by a low to kick out the bricks, and I'd be able to 3bet.

Do I cap or not?
He probably doesn't have a hand that beats me but sure likes his hand, and I'm certainly playing for half the pot. Seat 6 could have some kind of draw against me as well.

Hoping for an overcall here.

Total pot: 30.40 BB

I've lead the action every street, with 5th and 6th capped by me and seat 6. Do I cap the river or try to cheap out on the rake by flat calling his 3bet? The rake is already maxed in this example, but less pretend there's another 1/4BB or 1/2BB rake if the pot exceeds 30BB.
