For what it's worth I would never open limp from the button unless I was 100% sure that my opponents were going to call and then call down with any hand.

Yeah. That's a part of my play I am working on.

Considering:

1. Open-raising on the button with any hand I would limp with if there were other callers before me.

2. Limping with many hands I would otherwise have folded if there had been other callers.

My button play is my weakest point.

The only time "the button" is an important consideration is when you have marginal hands or when you want to throw a "curveball."

I think "the button" is highly overrated. If you have 2 6 offsuit on the button, don't even think of calling. In the long term, those extra "half blinds" to call the BB add up!

"The button" should be a consideration with marginally winning hands like K 9 suited or Q 10 suited or K Q offsuit...

So don't get stressed out b/c your "button play" is bad... Step back and take a look at your overall game rather than your "button play".
