With a raiser and a caller, am i letting this go now? I know you should go bust with sets but its not a great spot for me here. What do you reckon?

call you have the odds, then re-avaluate with with river card

I'd bet pot on that flop, maybe more.

Turn is a nasty card, I would call and hope for FH getting good odds.

call turn. Over bet the flop IMO.

You should be opening this pre, with the BB sat at 100xbb.....

There are instances where limping, and even open limping are ok at 4nl imo, but this isn't 1.

It doesn't have to be big, 3x is fine, you just wanna build the pot. They wont notice your raise is smaller, and even if they do, they wont know how to interpret it (might think u got AA and "don't wanna scare em off)

I wud bet bigger on the flop multi way.....

Don't be afraid to overbet the pot. If they've got an ace or a draw, they aren't folding for 12p or 32p. 

On the turn all you can do is check/call. 

Get there.... 

...Then overbet the pot again.

Point taken about the flop bet. Looking back it should be bigger and it usually is.

As for the open limp. Its was a table full of limpers and wanted to see the flop cheaply. I am reading Harringtons cash book at the moment and i am trying to take it on board and mix things up a bit and change my plays around a bit. He says its good to open limp sometimes as it throws people. I know i shouldnt be thinking like that at 4NL, i should just raise my strong hands big and get paid like i have done in the past and made a profit. 9 times out of 10 on this particular table i see that flop cheaply which is my reasoning for opening limping. Not an excuse, i have taken the advice on board but just thought i would reply. Thanks.
