I don't like pushing for 20xBB, but I might push for 12xBB, particularly if I had some people covered.

I sometimes play AK for a limpraise with something like 20xBB. It is kind of deceptive in that people will think you have a big pair or are bluffing with a standard limping hand. You can probably get medium pairs to fold and AQ might call.

It also can be deceptive in a limped pot. While you are not thrilled to fold on the flop, you can sometimes get away with a small loss.

If the table is tight, just standard raise and take the blinds. However, if it is loose and you expect callers, sometimes a limpraise is a better plan.

I was multitabling 2-table tournaments last night and when it was down to the final table, every time someone limped someone else would put in a sizeable raise. I think they really disliked limpers. I was looking to pick up AQ or JJ or something and limpraise.
