Should I steal?

[robilaruk]

after Aimar's excellent thread on STT's, we had a discussion about when to steal and why - so I'll go first is this a decent time for a semi-bluff steal - the table is fairly passive (have been here one full round) and even if i am called I have options on the flop so if i steal - how much?

Re: Should I steal? I dont steal here - no need to, and there's little point ..... the risk is greater than the rewards..... Neither Danny Boy nor scotty alon offer me the implied odds to draw to trips, but I probably still limp and hope to see a flop - together, and with the chances of other limpers (hopefully increased with 2 limpers already) I'm not far off the implied odds I'm looking for....
