Re: slow down?
I think it's close between calling and capping. I think if I can get the pot heads-up by capping, that's my plan.
folding isn't an option. |

Re: slow down?
I have seen random junk played this way at the micros just as often as AA/KK.... Without reads, I just call and see the flop. Play it strong on a favorable flop.
If I know MP2 is a donk who will reraise out of spite since he didn't see a cheap flop, I'll cap here to try and isolate him. Of course, that will rarely happen since chances are lots of the limpers who've already called two cold will call two more cold. That's okay, though. You're hand could easily be best with this field and a set = lots of money. There are much worse things in life than a 5-way capped flop with a G2 PP. |

Re: slow down?
With others in the pot and position, I'd cap.

Re: slow down?
I'd generally cap, but there's an argument for calling and seeing what the flop brings. The problem with capping is that generally it'll be checked to you, and you'll bet out into the field offering them ~20:1. If you don't cap, MP2 will often lead into you (both with hands you beat and hands that beat you), but you can raise favorable flops and cut the field's drawing odds to ~8:1.

Re: slow down?
My question is:
Why did MP2 call and then raise?! With that in mind, I assume I'm ahead and raise. |

Re: slow down?
I think I would cap here, try to get it heads up. If you do, you can go to WA/WB with an unfavorable flop.

Re: slow down?
Generally the limp-reraise signifies a monster hand but at this limit with no read, a monster is not a foregone conclusion.
TT isnt that strong in the face of a 3bet (limp/reraise or otherwise) but you have position so yoy can keep the action slow. I'd call and check/call the rest of the way. I might raise the flop if he bets to see where he is at. |
