    it depends...

    seriously tho, to get solid advice you need to add more information to your post, are you talking preflop? after a few limpers? are you UTG? did you limp pre and now face a LP raiser? stuff like that needs to be in there for you to get a meaningfull response

    88 out of pos has to be the hardest hand to play

    In seriousness though, in early position limp with small to medium pps, if you dont flop a set dont fall in love with them. Dont play AJ or A10 or KQ in early position if they are giving you trouble, stay away from these "trap hands." Granted there are situations wehre you are shortstacked and get these hands, but if you have 10 bbs or less just push with these hands if you are going ot play them. Just play tight and solid, if you limp with 88 and flop is J 9 4, what did u lose? Nothing really, so just give up the hand. If you are low on chips, just push, you will get most hands to fold, do not put in half your stack with A10 or 77 preflop, if its going to be that much, just put it all in.

    until you've played enough of the situations and know your table just fold it

    limping with pairs is ok, but remember when you limp its a "no set, no bet" philosophy
