don't know if you care for any criticism regarding other streets but i'd punish the UTG limper with 88 100% of the time. Get him HU and fire on flop and turn and bet/fold river.

as played, when you call here, you're going to be up against a straight and/or flush often enough that I think it's not a big mistake to fold. In fact, as passive as villain is a fold is prob your best line.

just my 2 cents fwiw.

First off, 88 is plenty strong enough to open imo.

As played, I would probably just fold. You've only invested a single solitary BB in the pot. Folding the best hand at this point is such a small mistake in comparison to the risk of the flush.

geez MP1,and we have position all the way.
citing the ranges of the limpers,we might be quite behind.some shitty slowplaying here comes into play.

Raise is not an option,call would be bad,as BB might just shove(im pretty sure we are lost with the ranges here).Fold

I'd call, but fold if anybody reraises.

SB has crap and will fold. BB has a pair or is trying to buy the pot. He will most likely fold. UTG might have you beat, but you're ahead often enough to warrant a call.
