6 Max 0.5/1 NLH cash table. Bought in for the minimum and maintains 25BB. On this specific hand everyone limped in to us at SB with which is not agood enough hand to raise. I know for a fact that the BB wouldn't raise after me. So I decided to limp in too and see a cheap flop. BB checked as expected and flop came . I decided to bet 2.5BB (Pot 6BB) with top pair with decent kicker, and everyone folded except UTG (decent player, VPIP 32 PFR 10) limper, who just called. With this call I put him on small pocket pairs, two over cards or another 8. Turn comes . I checks and villain bets 7BB(Pot 11BB). I called and the river is . I checked and villain bets 10BB into a pot of 25BB. With the missed flush draw and only QT making straight on the river, and making two pairs, I decided to call. Villain showed and I lost the pot.
My questions are :
1. Was it okay to just limp behind and see a cheap flop with this hand or should I have just folded it?
2. With this many limpers, should I raise with hands like J8o to thin the field instead of calling and seeing the flop? What if I get 3bet and denied the 100% opportunity of seeing the flop if I had just called? UTG with 36o wouldn't have seen the flop with a raise.
