I recently saw a cardrunners video on 6 max 25NL. The pro doing the video suggested open limping in early and middle position with low pocket pairs such as 22-66. He may have limped in late position, but I dont exactly remember. I always raised all pp's from all positions. I found that limping with pocketpairs would be very predictable, but I guess that the guy doing the video thought that players at 25NL would not really pay attention to what other players are playing. I have always raised all pocketpairs from all positions because of deception. At low stakes at 25NL is open limping ever justified?

 Open limping low pockets at aggressive tables that are likely to reraise gives you good odds to sethunt, whereas calling a reraise after you've raised often doesn't.

Say you raise low pockets 3Xbb to .75 and get reraised 3x your bet to 2.25, assuming effective stacks of 100bb you now just barely have odds to sethunt under the 10X rule which many feel is too low (villain needs roughly 10x his bet behind for you to call). Raise 4xbb to $1 and get reraised to $3 and now it's even worse, so if you are raising limit your raise to 3xbb if you plan to call a reraise.

Limp and get raised and your odds are always juicy to call.

Personally, I mix it up and do both to make it harder to put me on a hand.
