How does your opponents open limping OOP change the way you look at your hand? I think a leak in my game is that I immediately reduce the value of my hand, and I limp right along with them. 100BB stacks, full ring, UTG+1 limps, MP limps, you sit on the button with ATs, AJo, 67s, KQo or any hand you would typically open-raise with from late position. What do you do? Does it depend on your reads on the players that limped? If you put them on Axs, KTo, or some mediocre hand and you have ATs are you raising behind 2 limpers? Another example would be if I was in CO with 88, a hand I would normally open-raise with from any position, and 2 players open-limp before you, do you still raise? Really what I am asking is how does open limping before you change the value of your hand and your thought process.

A lot depens on whos limping:

Loose passive- Here I'd raise any decent hand with HU potential (AT+, 88+, anything that might have him dominated) looking to isolate.

Loose agg- I'm limping more hands here, looking to trap if i hit a monster.

Tight - Probably has a PP or SC, You can raise and c-bet a wider range here as they will fold the flop if they don't hit. If they play back at you, fold that TP.

When there are more player in the pot it gets more complicated. Raising a few limpers with 88 or AT can give you some problems if they all call. Just make sure, if you do bet, it will be enough to thin the field. Another thing is to assess the strength of your hand, AJo is good HU so I'd be more inclined to raise, 9Ts is good multiway so go for the limp.
