Hi!

Even though it is possible to openlimp from early on very loose passive tables where there are 3+ players on every flop I still would not suggest you openlimping at all.Fold is a very solid and good move and will also have the lowest variance.

As played its fine, no point in raising anywhere ui as you dont want to isolate yourself against a better hand.

Thanks,

It's not my normal play to limp with 87s but table was very fishy and passive and I like to play this kind of hand occasionally as it has a lot of disguise if it hits, although I guess it's better disguised with an open raise. (not sure why I didn't do this)
