i dont think this is a std raise pre spot with this hand more like a call

I don't want to play a 5-way pot with this hand. I raise because I want to isolate the limper. As a general rule of thumb, I would never ever be limping here with a hand like this. It's raise or fold.

sorry i misread action? the pot is super-straddled this is not a common limp and usually straddlers just call anyways live so u'll play a 5way huge pot like that imo

I think the super straddler will call a lot of the time.
Decent LAG limper most of the time, for "value."

But I don't expect anyone else to come in unless they have me beat by a long way. Look at the guy who folded first - a Queen. Why is he calling if he's going to fold on a Q-high flop with this kind of SPR? He should just be folding.

I definitely would never ever ever be limping with this hand, I think that doing so is just burning money... What does everyone else think on this?

I don't see how limping is -EV. Not saying it's maximum EV, but saying it's raise or fold is likely incorrect.

Hmmm. Yes that's a good point. Wonder what the diff is. I would imagine raising would be much more +EV... but can't be sure.
