I have been for the last few weeks limpin from utg with a monster hand with somewhat good success, but will change that strategy after tonight. When losing a hand I immediately have froze time and replayed the hand in my head to see what I could do differently to have won the hand.
I was dealt QQ utg so I limped into the hand. The dip shit to my left limped as well as did one other before the bb called. The flop was 478 and I lead out with $750 into a 1k pot. Guy to my left raised to 1k so I shoved and he called. The ass hole had 56 of hearts for a straight from the flop. The only way that I could have had a chance at winning that hand would of been to raise 3x the bb from utg. Not sure whether this is a standard bet from that pos but I know for sure I would have won this hand had I raised him out of the pot preflop.
Any thoughts?

Limping Big PP UTG is ok under certain circumstances. If the table is aggressive and your chances of being re-popped is large, then go ahead. If you are in trouble stack-wise on a tight table and feel the only action you will get is from limpers and you plan on shoving any flop then go ahead. Making a raise is never a bad play and at the lower levels is most certainly the best play.
Been caught with my pants down so many times limping W/ big wired hands utg that I rarely do it anymore. Plus, as you get higher up in the stakes, a limp/reraise utg is just not profitable, as your action screams "I have a monster" to better players. Much better to raise and hope you get a reraise so you can shove, it disguises your hand better.
+WTF??? Deal got an Aruba package and didn't tell me about it???
