expect to be definetly called by JJ+ and AK, as well as TT probably and maybe 99 and AQ

Ok, with what probability do you think people would limp with those hands? Do you think people will call with worse?

i can't really say a probabilty that somebody would limp with a certain hand, because its player, game, and site dependant. its also hard to say if how many people actually call with worse, because that too depends on where and who you are playing. sorry i can't cough up a number

The point is not to come up with a number.

I'm not looking for a cop-out like, "It depends." I had been at the table for an orbit, so I didn't have detailed reads on everyone, either. Nevertheless, I made a decision I'm confident was +EV by a lot.

I asked to point out that it is relatively unlikely for someone to have limped with a big enough hand to make this a comfortable call. To defend yourself from someone who is willing to raise every time you show weakness, you need to lower your calling standards, trap frequently, or stop limping.
