Limit Hold'em Quiz #33, Question Two

[Matt]

You are on the button with Q:diamonds:J:diamonds:. Four players limp in front of you. What do you do?

You raise. The big blind and the limpers call. The pot contains 12.5 small bets. The flop comes 7:clubs: 6:hearts: J:hearts:. The big blind and the first limper check. The second limper, a semi-loose aggressive player, bets. The third limper, a weak predictable player, calls. The fourth limper folds and the action is on you. What do you do?

I would call....

Raising here doesnt knock anyone out and just creates a larger pot allowing other players to draw out correctly.

Instead you should just call and re-raise on the turn...

Again, this is correct. Raising will not protect your hand.
