Hey,

I'm reviewing one STT sng and in the early game I had this situation that I stayed confused how to proceed.
Preflop action: I was confused how to act and prefer to open limping that was a bad choice because I put myself in front of villains in a wide range. My call in iso-raise was ok?
Pos flop I supposed there aren't any great comments and folding was the best decision.
In general how to play this hand without open limpers.

for me this is a clear open raise pre / fold vs 3bet (or call if you get good odds for set mining) wih these stacks, as played postflop easy fold

Pre-flop is indeed an open to like 75-90. This way you are the aggressor in the hand.
Now you can’t do much else how you played it without hitting a set.

I think pre-flop is best what you can do is just raise and after flop easy fold. I dont think about any options.
