I thought maybe the button was doing a positional raise so I have 2 questions here.

1. If there were no raise by the button should I have called this hand in the SB considering there were only a few in this pot? I was planning on calling before the raise.

2. Since I suspected this was nothing but a positional raise should I have called or was the fold the right play here?

I fold to that raise and I limp into an unraised pot with that hand.

I'd fold that for sure.

Was it really necessary to put the results in white? Wink

I have been using this thing called a converter that someone on another forum told me about and I have been using it for my Poker Stars hand histories. it automatically puts it in white but since my question was about my fold I really did not pay it any mind.

Limp in or fold against a raise with that hand. Without a doubt.

Its a nothing hand. I would fold it although the raise probably was a position raise. That doesn't mean the raiser necessarily had rubbish though.
