How are people playing ATo in the big blind at a tightish 6-max table?
Example:
UTG limps, MP limps, CO folds, button limps, SB completes, HERO(BB) raises 7x
2 callers.
Flop comes 7 2 J
What now?
Option A: HERO leads for 3/4 pot.
Option B: HERO checks.
I don't have a solid play for this situation, what have you been using?

I bet here. If its folded to the button who open limps then Im going to raise preflop here and cbet as often as I would any other hand.
If there are any limpers Im just checking though and if there are any raises Im most likely folding.

I probably dont raise preflop, but definitely c-bet it. Youve shown strength by raising out of the blinds, and you'll take this pot down incredibly often.

I didnt see that UTG limped, even then though I dont like a button limping on my blinds and ATo is going to be ahead of my opponents ranges. Given the UTG limp I may not raise, but if it were folded to the button I would definitely raise.

Bet.
Also, think through the sorts of hands and situations where you want to do this stuff.

Unless one of the limpers is an uber-donk or I think I have a good chance to steal the pot preflop I check preflop everytime. I dont want to build a pot preflop with a marginal toppair hand OOP - yuck!

Depends on the callers. c-bet if they're sethunters, c/f vs. loose fish.
