Nope, and you don't even have that good a shot at winning it.

People could easily have limped in front of or behind you with KQ or AJ. Or you could run up against a suited queen or jack that made a crap two pair. Or an ace could fall on the river. Your hand is ass.

I would fold preflop.

But now that you are in...pot is too small...I fold it on the flop.

I dont think so, I would fold.

The preflop limp is probably neutral EV also, so I woudln't bother.

I'd be curious to know what you guys' VPIP numbers look like. Making "loose" pf calls like this my number is a lofty 15%.

I'm not sure all posters noticed that you are only button+2. I might play this hand against a loose limper if conditions looked right. Maybe.

My VP$IP is around 18% which is appreciably higher than you. However it didn't get there because I am loose about playing offsuit blackjack hands out of position. Your comments hint that you may be playing the wrong 15%.

The flop is an ice-cold fold. You don't have pot odds, your outs are weak, the whole field is acting behind you, and there is no obvious draw for UTG+1 to bet.

if the flop were 983r, then it might be worth doing. I agree with all of StellarWind's comments.
