What do you think is the best play here? Limp or raise (would 260 be good)?

Hmmm, i dont like to 3bet here because if he 4bet us we have to fold . I like to flat we are in position and we will play postflop in position. 3beting is not bad, but as i mention earlier i dont want to get 4bet and fold.

flat calling isn't terrible but i think a 3bet is nice because it can look like button squeeze and that might induce lighter 4bets

Absolutely 3b for value and becuase we have position.

OTF - bet if he checks and i would consider floating most flops cheaply even if were doing it with air as villain will most likely shut down on turn if he is just cbetting. If you flop any kind of hand i would be raising over his flop bets.

3bet for value, AND call if he shoves. Loose play out there in the $6.50/45 turbos. If you start laying down AK suited early, and other similarly nitty moves, then you'll never get enough chips for the final table.

lolwut? You're folding AKs to a 4bet early? May I ask why? You probably don't have any reads, so you can't tell if anyone is an uber-nit, and people will shove so much worse at this buy-in.

Also, having position is a much better reason to 3bet, because you'll be able to act after everyone else, so you'll be able to take down that 249r flop with a standard c-bet so much more often.

300-350ish looks about right with the cold call there.
