I have no idea how to play this....my current stratrgy is if im bored i call with any cards in the top 80% of hands...if im not bored maybe top 50%. I figure i could probably improve on this.... but i have never read anything about how to play here. comments?

i tend to loose more than I should from the SB. Ive improved lately by playing only connected cards, suited cards or the higher gap cards such as J9. However if its a hand where everyone feels like limping in ill call the BB pretty much any 2 cards. Try and avoid altering your PF play on the basis of being bored, sometimes you just got to be bored for a while

I prefer to limp connecting cards here rather than suited cards as it's easier to get away from top pair but it's all preference. However I don't think it's so important what you limp but being able to fold what you limp when you make a small piece of the flop. For example, J9 when the flop comes J high. If you can't fold hands like this, or people won't give you credit for it and play back at you then you shouldn't limp as much out of position.

The more limpers the looser the requirements. Here is my list in general (assume 2+ limpers):
A Xs, K Xs, SC:s, suited gappers, any two J or higher.

The more limpers, the more likely I am to complete with:
Q Xs, off-suit connectors and gappers.¨

As a previous poster said, 5+ limpers, I limp any 2.
