    Default SCs flop a straight, how is this line

    Opp is 50/5/2.2. Should I just fold SCs like this from UTG? In a SNG I would fold without a second thought. As played, how is the rest of my line?

    Full Tilt Poker
    No Limit Holdem Ring game
    Blinds: $0.10/$0.25
    8 players
    Converter

    Stack sizes:
    Hero: $25.55
    UTG+1: $24.40
    MP1: $9
    MP2: $19.85
    CO: $5.45
    Button: $19.80
    SB: $17.25
    BB: $35

    Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is UTG with 9 T
    Hero calls, 6 folds, BB checks.

    Flop: 7 J 8 ($0.6, 2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $0.4, BB calls.

    Turn: 7 ($1.4, 2 players)
    BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB raises to $4.4, Hero calls.

    River: J ($10.2, 2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks.

    I raise or fold T9s UTG, but it depends on the table. If yours is full of loose/passives, limping might be ok. I 3-bet the turn to ~$12. If he pushes, it's really tough, I probably call though. River check behind is fine.

    raise preflop. You played this fine IMO.

    I'd have to have a good read on the table to limp this. Sometimes I raise it and most times I'd fold it but limping at passive tables is ok. Postflop is fine.

    limping hands like this is standard for balance, just don't do it every single sc you have
