I thought I would bump this since I have more hands now.
I am 28/8 over all, closer to 30/9 the past month
I have more or less stopped open limping in 6 max, which is my main game. The big difference is rough pair hands like QQ83, if I am not comfy at the table raising I'll just fold.
Also I was limping some 3 card hands like AKTx with a suit which I now think is bad play OOP. Again I may raise these at some tables, but most of the medium pots I was losing started off limp/call raise.
You hardly ever get three bet so raising doesn't take you off many hands. Plus in EP you're probably just raising hands that can stand a re raise like nice rundown/l gaps or hands you can happily fold like bad KKxx types.
When I play FR I will open limp the first couple positions. There tend to be more short stacks usually so raising is riskier. Also build the pot is not as important vs 6 max.
Compared to when I started I more often raise half stack or more limpers with any hand I was limping anyway although it is table dependent. I usually stick with 3x because the idea is more to build a pot with position and a good hand vs isolation. IMO most people are going to call 3x or 5x with the same hands. Also it's easier to call three bets when we open smaller.
I decided last month to 3 bet from the CO or BU with decent AAxx - One suit plus a connect, two connectors, or double paired. Along with any 4 card run down, or 1-2 gap on bottom. I'll also 3 bet a hand like 99TJ. Or a hand with a couple gaps (not on top) if it's double suited. However, this doesn't happen much. I'll also 3 bet BB vs SB with all those hands and sometimes BB vs BU.
