ps he hasn't been raising much so I assume he doesn't have 55 unless maybe it's with AA/KK?

Well I could see him having like 6789 but without much of a read it's tough to know how he'd play a hand like this on such a dry board.

How has limping hands like this PF been working out for you?

I'm usually only open limping UTG, I would raise any later if opening. I hate raising like a bad KK hand UTG so I figure if I'm limping those I should like a few reasonable holdings too. Top set makes too much monies to fold JJ-KK from any where it seems like.

If I'm paying attention it depends on the table too, if I have been raising a lot or someone bad is raising a lot I'll limp more hands like this UTG.

but I don't think I've been doing that long enough to say whether it's any good, been experimenting a lot.

68xx and 77xx are the only hands that come to mind 77 doesn't make sense too me so 68 or nothing is my thinking.
