I would still raise as level 1 its still relativley cheap- if you get reraised you can fold comfortable in the knowledge your beat

trouble is you"re almost always gonna get a call cos it"s cheap, then you have to play the flop oop with a marginal hand.

i would limp and set mine, or fold pre to any raise unless multiple callers to give some implied value

you got there before me steve. At these levels ($5 - $20) you are generally bleeding chips, raising with these hands. If you only raise AA - JJ and AK, you may think you are exploitable (as you would be in a MTT) but you rarely are

treydj:
weird hand eh!!

all replies are different lol!!

i kinda limp and call a standard raise - if i miss my set or i dont flop favourably i"m out.

every time i raise i get called in at least one position thus playing an inflated pot oop with a real difficult hand.

mal666:
limp call oop is the worst thing we can do here. Raise or fold with a lean towards folding. Don fold every time utg L1

deanp27:
i never open limp with anything so i open with a raise

In this scenario as outlined in the OP, don"t you think this is a little spewy? You are always going to get at least one call, and probably more than one... and then will be playing a flop out of position, with a high likelihood of overcards on the board.   Obviously if you are re-raised preflop you can fold and get away cheap.... but if called, you either c-bet or c/r post flop, and in both events you"re going to have commit more chips than a simple limp/call preflop. In level 1 of a cheap STT, surely 99 is a hand to set-mine with, but not one to play the flop with oop.
