300$ Buy in NL holdem.
Villain has Hero covered. Hero has 200$ in front.

Hero is 8-8 in UTG+2, Villain is BB.

Hero limps, MP1 limps,MP2 limps, BB checks.

flop: 5-7-8
BB bets 30, Hero pushes, BB calls showing (4-6 for flopped straight)...hero doesnt fill up.

I realised my mistake of not raising preflop, but i thought limping in with pp is the best play OOP in NL.

I play mostly limit and was just testing the waters in NL at our B&M. I think post flop was fine no?

Do any of you raise pairs like 4-4 -----10-10 preflop or always limp OOP. ??

maybe its a very elementary question, but still would like to know...
