    even annette folds that preflop EDIT: I think

    Isolating limpers in position is a good strategy, but wait for something a little more playable than T2o imo.

    As played, you have to bet that flop, just too good of a flop to cbet. Obv fold to any action

    is this a joke? lol. but c-betting this is ok i guess, more often than not limp-callers will fold with an Ace or King showing up.imho.

    Its spew without antes most of the time unless u think the limper will fold preflop. But u can really do it with any two if u want to.

    it doesnt really look ugly to make a move with ATC but with that potsize and no antes (just as annette said) it's certainly spewey. in general i would think that you might win more pots in situations like these than you lose, simply because limp-callers are generally weak. but everytime you risk twice as much as you can get, so you need to do better than that to jusitify the play. and i do not think that you can trap a limp-caller with a hidden monster here, thus giving you no extravalue from this play, coz. he will fold everytime against aggression unless he himself hits the flop hard. imho.
