AT in BB v. one limper hand

[Byrn]

Really wasn't sure how I wanted to play this, looking for thoughts.

Game is online 2/4...

AdTs in BB, one mp limper. I have no specific read that I can push around the limper, so I check wanting to see a flop.

Flop Qs8sQc. hmmmm... I can bet and fold to a raise, bet and call a raise and see what the turn brings, check and fold to a bet, check and checkraise... Only 1.25 bb in pot. I checked and folded given the pot is small, I am out of position, and I have no reads on my opponent - but that felt like it couldn't be the best play.

Raise PF.

I like raising PF, and I bet this flop 100% of the time. Picking up small pots is an important part of your win rate, and becomes more important as you move up.
