how much should be raising with limpers?.. what kind of hands should i be raising with?..
When I'm raising over limpers from the blinds I usually go with 1 more big blind than I would if I was on the button raising over the same number of limpers. So if there were 3 limpers, I'd raise to 8bb. I do this so if I'm in the big blind I'm putting the same amount into the pot as I would out of the blinds (since you post 1 bb before you're dealt cards).
I personally raise more over limpers than a lot of people recommend. I'll raise over 1 or 2 limpers with any broadway, any suited Ace, most suited Kings, and all kinds of other random stuff. For someone not looking to play a lot of marginal hands OOP, I think something close to your UTG+1 or UTG+2 open-raising range would be sufficient.
