Raising limpers in position
I'm playing 6max 25NL, and it's like one big limpfest there.
I have this kind of strategy in mind to exploit that (despite raise PP's and big broadways) when I'm in position;
1. Raise in position when there is only 1 limper with any suited connectors down to 54s, 1-gappers down to 64s and any connectors down to 54.
2. Limp behind with SC's and 1-gappers when there are 2 limpers or more.
Reasoning behind it:
1. I want to punish the limpers, and with these hands I don't mind seeing a flop when called. Pot is also bigger for when I actually flop a draw. I can also take it down frequently with a c-bet on the flop.
2. When there are more limpers I am getting odds to flop a draw and play a multiway pot from there.
Is there fundamentally anything straight wrong in this strategy?
I.e. I read T&P, and Sklansky advocates limping with SC's and stuff, because by raising, the limper will fold very often and you're missing a change to win a big pot.
Same goes for open limping sc's from the button.
My experience this far is that about always the one limper will fold to my raise.
Is the strategy any good?
1. What about theory? (odds of flopping and implied odds)
2. Are the hands I do this with good?
(Sklansky advocates doing it with any hand you normally wouldn't play. So should I be doing it with 1-gappers offsuit, 2 gap SC's and worse...and not with 'my' hands instead?
3. Should I also be raising 2 limpers? and more?
4. What if I'm OOP? (i.e. from the blinds)
I'm very passive and tight from the blinds...so I do this only when in position. Am I missing chances?
