    Default Correct Call?

    I know this call pre flop was a little shaky, but there was enough money in the pot that I think it was worth a call preflop with.

    a little town called none of your goddamn business
    You called off 10% of your stack with a suited connector out of position. I don't think that was a good idea.

    As played this is a clear push flop. You are a favorite. Dead money makes it a sin not to call.

    stacks need to be at least twice as deep for your action pre flop. don't even bother limping this in EP unless table is VERY passive. The flop is fine. If you're worried about the flop, don't play SCs at all.

    Fold preflop.

    flop played itself - without making your hand, you can't get a better flop than that.

    Although preflop the call was clearly wrong, the table was being very passive and there were 3-4 limpers almost every hand. That is the only reason i limped in EP, I would have only limped on the button or very late position. Why I didn't give this hand up to the raise I don't know beyond me.
