Well, I'd probably fold pf, but since you're in the hand...

With this draw, your objective is to get your chips in on the flop, it's a strong favorite against top pair and you have a whole ton of outs. Basically, it depends on your read, but two options are to 1) raise as much as you think one of the limpers will call or 2) flat-call the flop, and hope the original bettor calls or even better, raises again.

It was 4 handed and the table was very soft. I don't see a problem limping with a hand like this.

It's almost ALWAYS better to raise than limp. Even with a soft table, I'm folding this.

You guys are right about my preflop play. It's pretty weak these days.

yep good choice raising to $10. Sucks that he had a set though, because given this knowledge it makes this play not nearly as profitable. Someone else can do the math and figure out the EV given that he has a set, im to lazy.
