Factors that would have me considering limping pairs and weak suited hands...
- generally loose/passive table
- lots of limping and calling open raises
- very little 3betting
- fish with big stacks
- chatty table (indicates less attention being paid when not in hand)
- angry chat (indicates tilt)
- people unable to get away from top pair, paying off when they should fold
- people calling overbets with draws or average hands
- solid reads on most of the table
- players who can't hand read for shit
- more shit I can't think of right now
Generally, I'm not open limping. But if enough of these factors fall into place, then why not? If loads of people are trying to see flops, even vs utg raises, and top pair is rarely getting away when beat, then limping 22 utg is probably better than folding. But it relies heavily on post flop competence, and solid reads on villains.
im partially in agreement with ong here, the one thing that sticks out is being competent post, which i def think you need to be , and at 2nlI'm just not sure without seeing some of your hands to make that call.
so post some of your hands man, especially if your have a database, find some low PP hands (22-55) you played and post them .. we'll tell ya how your doing post
