Any credit to such a move ? (level 3 limpers steal)

Is this something you'll attempt once in a while ?
I read them all for weakness of sorts and my stack appeared a big enough threat to scoop it up. Thoughts ?

I really like it. Looks fine to me.

People limp lots of crap hands at 22s and chances are you won't get called and if you DO get spite called, it's with a hand you beat or are a coinflip with at worst.

You will get shown a high PP by some limper rarely, but it is rare enough to justify your push.

I really like this move.

Is it really that good?

I think that limping along would be best. You wont get called by anything that you have beat (maybe A10 suited sometimes).

However, in the $20+2 games I have seen some horrid calls. If you can get someone to call with a worse hand (or better yet, for them to all fold), then nice play.

FWIW, I got called by A5o that time, but he took quite a bit of time to call.

With your stack size and the amount of chips in the pot I think this should be automatic.

Automatic play at the 20+2.

[ChuckNorris]

It might be somewhat close since the limpers are all from pretty early position, so any reads would be nice, but I think this is standard play in a $20+2.

I like this push, and you do have 10xbb anyway so pickin up whats in the pot looks good to me if thats all you get.
