I sometimes play a 3 person cash game with a couple friends of mine. Could someone direct/tell me where I could find what range of hands I should be calling raises with, raising with, and limping? Thanks

There is no solid answer here. For instance, at my home games I can read some of the players like a book. If they raise, I can tell from the way they raise how strong their hand is, and from that I determine my range.
You need to know how loose your opps are, how frequently they pop it preflop and how aggressive they play after the flop to determine range(s).
Play lots of hands, have fun.
It's 3-handed and there is no rake.
if you are the button, raise instead of just calling
Be the bartender and serve stong drinks.
LOL guess I shouldn't have expected a lot of answers haha. I just didn't know if hands like q-7 suited or 5-3 suited were out of the question to limping. They are not very strong players and i usually get sucked out if anything. One guy is tight/aggressive...if he raises, usually has higher pocket pair or face cards...will be strongly if he has top pair, throws in the check-raises, easy read. He doesn't usually do continuation bets that much cause he comments on how much we do it. The other guy is loose/aggressive. Plays a lot of hands for flops and will usually bet flop every time so it's hard to tell when he has something, but sets him up for an easy check raise later when you hit.
sounds like you pretty much have it figured out
Raise to $10 preflop then check it down and see who wins. It's great fun!
dont go by hand raises so much as how often you have been playing pots and how. if you have been limping and calling a lot, start raising for the next few hands you decide to play. if you have been bullying them, wait for them to play back and then change gears and bring it hard w/ good hands. keep your play in flux and you'll steal more pots than you should and get paid off more than you should by hands that shouldn't be in the hand against you.
i play in a homegame and have incredible reads on all of my buds. good thing we only play for like $10 or i'd own their houses by now.
oh yeah and don't cut anyone any slack ever. no mercy in this dojo even when it's your buds.
Yeah I don't cut them slack. I play for the money and they have sucked me out for about 5 bucks each time. I always tell them they will pay for it later and they usually do.
