I don't mean to sound unhelpful here, but I think you could just about hit one of the three buttons at random in this pot and nobody is going to say you played it terribly.
EDIT: I like the raise here. All very dependent on what has gone before. Lori

I think I personally call more often than the other two options unless the blinds go up in the next 2 hands, in which case I raise. All very dependent on what has gone before.

If you push, and I think that's a consideration with 12BBs, getting multiple callers is a real possibility and usually a disaster unless you catch an eight. If you limp, what does a raise mean to you? If you are folding to a raise why not fold now? If you would call a raise why didn't you raise to begin with? With so many to act behind you, if you play this you must raise unless you limp/all-in to a raise which represents a much bigger hand. This might isolate your raiser, it might not. What is the table play like? If it's a limpfest then you cannot limp here and let every Ax, Kx, in. If play has been fairly straight forward, go all-in. If it's been a raise,re-raise, pushfest you probably want to lay this down because of your position. I think it's tough to play this hand with your stack without pushing. With the minimal information given, I don't like the raise. Push or fold. 30/70

lvl3 is what i think about the most nowadays. The blinds are not worth the steal and you don't have room to put in a raise and play as well. I think this 88 hand is the borderline. 99 push,77 fold, 88 anything goes

It seems to me that all you've done is made it more expensive playing a marginal hand OOP by putting in a raise that most likely is not going to win the pot for you right now. Folding, limping, even pushing (not recommended) would be better than mini-raising IMO. I wouldn't argue with folding. Probably what I would do. I look at it like this: Unless you pick up a great hand, very soon you will be in push / fold mode. Save your chips for this time... By folding this hand, you will soon have passed the blinds and be in position. Folding allows two things: 1) More patience to pick up a hand and not have to push crap as soon. 2) By saving that 125, I am "gaining" 250 when I eventually push and double up. Or put another way, unless I win this hand, I am "losing" 250 (with your 125 raise) when I eventually push and double up. I think the risk / reward of raising here is bad.

I know this is probably weak tight but I limp and try to see a flop. If I face a decent raise I don't mind letting this go. I agree w/ an earlier remark about raising, blinds not worth stealing yet and unless you flop trips this can be a difficult hand to play.
