    I limped PF 'cos I was hoping to hit a good flop with 75s and called the miniraise because, well, it's stupid not to.

    Fold PF. There was only one limper already in the pot. I'd need like 4 to call this, but I'm a nit.

    Should've mentioned LP was limping every hand.

    I'm still mucking this PF. I think your implied odds vs. reverse implied odds aren't great enough to see a flop from that position.

    Would you do it on the button?

    Given that the PF action is the same, I might limp on the button. It really depends on how the table has been playing.

    Putting in 1/30th of you stack in preflop in an MTT with 75s seems fine to me. (But I am crap at tournyes)

    Wota, it depends. If it is a passive table where I can draw cheap, then I'd do it. If flops are constantly getting bet and raised, then I'm folding PF.

    I'm calling preflop.

    You have a healthy stack. If you don't hit the flop, you fold. If you do hit, you will win a decent amount.
    So it's a risk a little win a lot situation.

    Question : if instead of betting out the flop, you check/raise. Is is a good or bad play ?
    Anyone ?

    Very bad play. You risk it being checked around giving FD, and SD a free chance to beat you.
