OfflineHello TPE,
I'm glad this hand came around because I know I'm unsure of how to deal with UTG limpers when I am also in early position.
This is a 5$ R/A, right before the addon phase, which adds 5000 chips. I have been able to show down strong hands early and have been playing aggressively.

kormoran123 calls t400
kormoran is playing 41/4, limp 50%, 3bet 6% (n=190) It seems he does limp wide, but he is UTG. Do you like folding, because it's already a borderline situation without the limper? Do you like isolating to 1250? What about flatting behind and seeing what the action is/mining for monsters?
Since it was so early and I felt their stacks were good for reshoving, I decided to limp behind.
Hero calls t400, 2 folds, 0ngng070 raises to t5440 all in, KKS1969 calls t5440, 4 folds
Pot is 12,600 and it's 5040 to call.
Hero?
0ng0ing has been playing 33/21, 3betting 15% and limping 17% I think his range is only slightly stronger than me, perhaps 22+, AX+, K5s+, K9o+, Q8s+, J9s+, JTo, T9s.
KKS1969 is super loose/passive, calling tons of opens preflop, playing 54/12, 0% 3bet after 66 hands, and 41% limp. He could have a range almost no tighter than 0ng0ing.
Even though the pot odds are pretty good, I decided to maintain my stack and image, and remain at 38BB.
Hero folds.
Any comments? If I managed to get this one right, don't worry I've got some oopsies coming up from this game.

OfflineI live by the philosophy of punishing the limpers and if a latter position I'm 3-betting against a 41/4. But esp considering Merge's add-on format where everyone is going to get 5k more, I'm folding. In fact I'm always folding this early. Even if late, V only has 18bb. I'm looking to stack him with A4s.
