The minimum would probably have been about 60p, because you would raise pre-flop, and the guy with queens would have raised you to about £1.80/£2, at which point you could have folded the 4s. As played however, once you hit the flop, it's hard to get away from it. To be honest though, I would be checking the flop, to see what the raiser does. Still, it's difficult either way... once you have called the raise pre.

I here ya buddy. Its was quite an agro table. I don't like to gibbons usually and i felt sure my limp would get raised. So like you say probably not the best pre.

I wouldn't limp.

We should probably go broke here. This time, we lost the minimum. Long term though, if we don't get all the money in at some point with a flopped set (unless board is ridic or runout is funky), then we are missing out on too much value.
