Here are two very common situation at micro and small stakes (6max, 100bbs).
Situation 1: Hero is SB, 1 players limps, action is up to hero.
Situation 2: Hero is BB, CO limps, SB limps, action is op to hero.
Assuming the limper(s) are the usual 30/10 or weaker ones, and not complete callingstations postflop.
My range for raising in these positions is spot on 77+, AJs+, AQo+, KQo+.
All smaller pairs I'm limping/checking, some broadways as well, SC's-1gappers etc depends on the players, my mood and image, but the smaller ones I'm folding in situation 1 quite often lately.
Reasons for a relatively tight range are obvious I assume.
Nevertheless, is there value in opening up my raising range in these spots a bit?
If yes, what hands are prefered and why those?
(fwiw, hero is playing 20/17 and stealing blinds 35% or more.)

it somewhat depends on stack sizes for raising. ill check a lot of small pairs if they are short stacks. if its 1 limper i will raise a wider range, but for situation 2 those ranges are pretty accurate. also when i raise out of the blinds, i raise 5x +1 per limper.

You should probably widen those ranges a little, for value but also because you'll take the pot alot with a cbet. Also my range is wider in scenario 1 than in 2, but not by much imo.

I just use my button range to iso most limpers. That range is wider than yours though. Against certain limpers you could raise any 2 and be profitable because on most flops you will take it down with a cbet.
Take note on how the player plays in limp/raised pots. If he just folds a ton than open up your isoing range a lot. If he stations post flop just tighten up your range. I think this is a better strategy than having a static isoing range.

I had a feeling that I'm missing some profitable situations by not raising wider. Glad to see it confirmed.
I'll experiment with it a bit.
Any advice on the type of hands to choose...(Axs, or SC's/1gappers/2gappers, or high cards like A8+ and K8+)
