hi, i'd welcome some experienced opinions on this please. for context i'm playing micro limits over at pacific right now which complicates things but this has been a question for me in most games i've played, regardless of stake.

i'm talking about 2-2 up to and including 10-10 (jacks and higher is usually self explanatory). i tend to limp almost all the mentioned hands from any position and then follow the no set no bet theory.

i don't feel comfortable raising pre-flop with these hands, this is worsened a little in micro limits as i've noticed that people there more often:

1. limp with very good hands waiting for someone else to raise so they can go over the top of them and i don't want to get into that situation with these hands.

2. see a pre flop raise as a slur on their masculinity or a steal attempt and so feel obligated to re-raise or you get 6+ callers to a healthy pf raise - again, not ideal.

should i be raising with pp's (5-5, 6-6 upwards?) in late position to protect the hand and also try and take it there? I guess at worst the display of strength pf might let me take the pot with a healthy bet on the flop if i do get called and don't hit.

general thoughts and any specifically related to the micro limit experience would be appreciated.
