T9s on button facing three limpers and a raiser

Well, I could be wrong - several responses seems to point to that. A few comments on your post though:

Aren't you the one who will be tied to the pot? If the flop comes 9 or 10 high and you get action, your likely beat, so your best flops will be ones that flop draws and you will be a dog to make you hand against top pair, etc.

You will be tied into a 5 way pot anyway with odds to call the flop on a gutshot. Exept now the pot is less likely to be raised in front of you and you might even get a free card to draw to your gutshot.

'Cept we prepaid for our flop free card, I'd hardly call that a bargain.

This would be true if that was the only reason to raise, but since it is not our free card only costs a fraction of a sb.

If we flop a flush or straight draw don't we want lots of opponents so when we ram 'n jam the flop we are getting value as dog on our raises?

[/ QUOTE ]

There will still be upportunities to ram and jam the flop and more importantly, ram and jam when you hit, since opponents will have a harder time putting you on a hand.
