When someone limps

[SmileyEH]

Just got beat badly 3 hands in a row by limpers on the bubble and 6 handed hiding their strength of big hands.

I know this has been discussed before but I think I have a big leak in my game not respecting this limps and thus getting suckered in.

Any thoughts on working on this?

That's a difficult one.

I just generally follow Sklansky's rule: If there is a limper, you need a [/i]better hand[/i] to raise with than you normally would.

So, I put my opponents on a slightly better range of hands, and adjust according.

This also depends on stack size. I'm much more apt to raise with something less powerful when I'm going all-in. And I'm much less likely to raise it all with deep stacks (~25+BB).
