blinds going up in 3 minutes.... i think a check here is profitable over the long run than any other play?

The pot has 500 you're stack is 4000, I probably raise to take down this pot. I'd probably put in 800. seat 5 and 9 are medium stacks, so they won't play without a strong hand, and I really don't care if one of the 1,000 chip stacks pushes in here since they over limped.

this is pretty low risk to add over 10% to your stack + you have a pretty strong hand, it's not like you have 89s.

Raise it up, everyone has limped and therefore shown weakness. You probably have the best hand tbh
