Re: Limping into pots at later levels.
In a very old post (no idea how to find it) Fossilman discussed a limping play for the later stages of a MTT that I have started using (sometimes).
If you are on the button and want to steal the blinds then limp in instead of raise. This does a few things: may pull chips in from the SB who can get in cheap, if the BB has any kind of a hand he may wonder why you are limping instead of raising (this creates confusion in his mind)and if you raise in an obviuos steal attempt the BB may re-raise you with air just to defend and then what do you do?
Then you bet out on the flop and represent a big hand. Hopefully they fold.
I will only try this once or twice at a table but it generally works.
