I "never" do it because Chris Ferguson had a thing on FTP Academy challenge where one of the requirements to complete it was to not open limp for 90 hands.

I figured if it's a bad idea generally then I'd just never do it, with a few exceptions, mostly being shortstacked or low M near the bubble/pay out jump/final table of an MTT where I need to control pot size. Though even there I try to get the hint that if I need to limp I should probably fold.

I guess I think it's a good idea to min raise as opposed to open limp is to make sure I'm giving the blinds a chance to fold.

I play all my early position hands the same way usually, so if u raise my min raise I could have AK AA or 22.
