Pacific, $0.05/$0.10 No Limit Hold'em Cash, 9 Players

UTG+2: $8.94 (89.4 bb)
MP1: $11.47 (114.7 bb)
MP2: $4.20 (42 bb)
MP3: $9.97 (99.7 bb)
CO: $11.77 (117.7 bb)
Hero (BTN): $11.15 (111.5 bb)
SB: $8.95 (89.5 bb)
BB: $10.05 (100.5 bb)
UTG+1: $18.72 (187.2 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with T K
UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.10, MP1 calls $0.10, 2 folds, CO calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.60, 2 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, CO folds

Flop: ($2.05) K 3 4 (3 players)
UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, Hero bets $1.53, 2 folds

I am curious here if it's okay to limp with so many limpers from BTN instead of iso-raise.

Hi Mircea05

Preflop: ask yourself what do you want to really flop with this hand if you limp it? It's really not a great speculative hand and it plays a lot better with initiative and when you can isolate 1 or 2 fish.

So by raising we isolate some weaker opponent(s), gain initiative and play IP.

If you were in SB I think that limping is better (or if you had 2 more fish in SB/BB that are highly likely to call).
