Try limp-autobetting with hands like this, it works vs all of sorts of opponents (multi-tabling tags included)

You are investing 1.5SB to win 3SB if u autobet flop. At 10/20 and up its tricky because BB will so often autoraise preflop if u limp. And since u will be raised sometimes preflop this has to work +50% on flop when he only checks preflop.

Not saying it doesnt work, but I would prefer a read on BB or a better hand.

I only do it with reads. When I'm up against LP's, TP's, or generally weak-postflop players, I'm doing it. I also use it when I percieve i'm up against an "unimaginative TAG".

You also show +EV postflop when you flop a worthwhile hand (TP or better) unless you're against a tag. With these hands (and other particular flops) you can actually not auto-bet, and it adds a whole dimension to your game.

I use it in the 5/10. I wouldn't be surprised if it was less effective at 10/20.

edit: Also: If you do it against someone once or twice and they raise you preflop both times (I've had this happen with opponents who's stats don't suggest they'd be raising you here without quality), you can setup a nice hand by limping with AA there. I've only pulled this off once, but IIRC he gave me way more action than he would have if I had raised preflop, because he suspected I was screwing with him postflop.
