5/10 KJ, how did I play this?

[Borno]

while this isn't a 'deceptive move' I might raise with this hand for value at a lose 5/10 table with 7 limpers to the flop. Pushing equity to increase the pot size with a hand that has 2 ways of winning seems like an okay idea. I say 1/3 of the time because it depends on your opponents that limp and this hand is not strong enough to always raise.

I raise preflop 1/3 of the time with that many limpers...

Raising preflop would be bad, and why 1/3 of the time? That doesn't really make much sense to me. Raising mediocre hands isn't a good "deception move."

because you'll hit the flop about 1/3 of the time! if you're going to hit your pair or your set, best to raise preflop.
