If the table is such that you like seeing cheap flops, limp in with a nice multiway hand and try to encourage a cheap multiway flop. My nittier ways sees me just folding here (admittedly nitty, but position is everything and we are unlikely to get it).
Another problem with raising is that we'll have to fold to a 3bet, whereas if we limped and saw some callers to a raise we could perhaps think of seeing a flop....
Open fold T9s in the LJ only rates about a 3 on the GGNIT Richter Scale, so I was gonna let it go...
Players still finding their way are probably well advised to let it go. But in general, this is such an easy peasy open to 10 in a Live 1-3 game. Yep, we can snap fold to most 3bets - big whoop. Lots of good things can happen postflop in this spot. There's nothing to debate here. If you're not comfortable, fold. Maniac at the table, fold. Running bad or sucky image, fold. But no, it doesn't take a wizard to navigate this spot, lol.
