TT in BB w/ limpers

[tom]

is this an okay play to make? DAVE was the only one there that I had seen do anything remotely unstupid, everyone was limping a lot with nothing through the whole game up to this point and genuinely bad at the game of hold em. I didn't want to see a flop, but then there were only unders and a flush draw.

I would've check-raised all-in. I think he's gonna bet his overs if you show weakness... 1875 pot, he probably bet close to half of your stack, then pull the trigger.

[vqc]

I think the push is fine.

[TLR]

Good push, pot is nice enough to take it down at the flop

[zenbitz]

You have to open-push because of the draws.

[konahead]

yes - push flop. don't try to get tricky with TT.

[Fortune 500]

I think you played it well. Unless he caught a set, you're ahead. Any hand that beat you PF would have raised.

[tom]

thanks everyone. I pushed, both called one with 55 the other with A9 and I took them both out. I was really afraid I was behind when both called relatively quickly, and wasn't sure if it was still the right play against non morons.

by the way, how does the preflop raise look to everyone?

55 is behind?

Don't knock on the aquarium, numnuts.

beating up the fish is a bad idea - they may decide its time to get H o H 1+2.
