I open 66 from all positions and my default play is to dump 22-55 until the HJ. Nitty perhaps, but a limp is often going to end up as spew almost regardless of table image @ 25NL (where I play).

A limp gives us near to zero initiative pf so we're presumably doing so for set value. However, if we limp/call for set value there are a lot of variables. We need to be sure of some callers, preferably no raise/re-raise, and enough money in the stacks that to make calling worthwhile.

A lot of variables means I'll often be dumping the small PP's in EP instead of limping.

Calling is slightly different but with so much action behind us we're still putting ourselves in a vulnerable spot. There might be enough in place to make calling for set value worthwhile. If not, I think the initial raiser would have to be a maniac and the rest of the table nitty to make a call +EV.
