Re: Do you EVER open limp ANYTHING? (Survey)

If im playing a guy who raises everything (ie a Maniac) I will limp with QJs or something (good but not great) and then he will take care of my raise for me

I like this idea. I usually just auto-click the raise button without thinking enough about it....but I do think limping could be better here.
As I mentioned in the 'UTG' poll,
I will limp with T9s through 87s UTG or even MP on the right tables (and at the right times...referring to my image there).
One benefit I've noticed with limping is that it can be similar to being in the big-blind.
When you raise, your opponents might not give you much respect when you bet on a low-ragged flop (852) because they just figure that you're on over-cards.
When you limp or are in the big-blind then they figure you could have almost anything...so if you are betting you must have paired the board. They are more likely to get out of your way if they missed completely in a smallish pot.
I'm a 27/23 type player who is trying to work more limping/calling into my game.
