HH got jacked up, but there were 3 limpers in front of me. I generally fold here, but should I be raising/calling?

Fold.

You'd have to raise 7 - 8 BB before you'd come close to thinning the field. Then you need to hit the flop really hard to be able to continue. You have no idea what the villains have. Not worth it as this stage.

If I were suited, I could be swayed into limping behind for t20 in late position, but I'm not playing on post flop if I don't flop at least 2 pair. If button / blinds raised anything more than 3xBB after this limp, I'm still folding.

i limp a lot of hands from co/btn with 3 limpers in front.
im not limping much worse unsooted aces tho.
don't really limp Axs either.
so ajo i guess is the worst ace. prob a10s. play cautious w/ tp.
def limping sooted broadways KQo , sooted connecters , pp.
if your not confident post flop and will go broke when u flop marginal hands than just dump it i suppose.

I agree with Aussie on this one. I fold, especially if I'm multi-tabling and can't pay close attention throughout the rest of the hand. If it's suited, I grudgingly limp behind.

With so deep stacks (75bb) and after few limpers ...why not limp AJo? Imo its great place to limp many speculative hands like 65s.

Agreed, after adding the modification above.

^^^^ Yes its important point here. Even when we hit 2 pairs (2%) we won`t double up through another regular who has in example TPTK...but we can possibly will be bust out when he has a set. Its important who we gonna play big pot early against without strong hand imo.

Fold. What is $20 in chips can lead to problematic decisions post flop unless you flop 2 pair or trips. I will keep my $20 and save a possible headache. You have plenty of time to wait.

All the limpers, how can u manage this? What is your minimal requirement for flop/action to proceed after flop?

Flop comes Ad8c5c, BB checks, 1st limper checks, 2nd limper bets t90, 3rd limper calls, Hero?

I think limping here is just not worth it. With so many players in pot, AJo is one of least playable hands, with great reverse implied odds.

Call and try to keep pot small...I probably fold to any bigger bet (>0.6-0.7 pot) and a call from second player on the flop (it creates too big pot and any turn bet will be commiting when I would plan to call it). Also I fold it when dangerous card falls on the turn..like club or maybe Q or T...depends who bets and who calls before its my turn. If first guy bets again, second folds...and if its not regular..i am not folding except he makes really strong play on the turn or river..

AJo on the Button or CO (middle positions too) after 2 limpers is a call even at 10/20...but folding is always ok too imo...especially when 20+ tableing. I play 12 and find really enough time to pay attention to these hands.
