I open limp a bunch of different hands in a bunch of different positions against a bunch of different opponents at a bunch of different limits.

I frequently limp Q10s,J10s,109s,77-55 if I think I will get 1-2 players who limp behind and the blinds. I rather take this than 1 cold caller and BB with a somewhat weak hand. Is this line of thinking bad; ie am I making it easy for me but not optimizing EV.

so rarely that i think i may as well raise, because it gives away my range.

When I'm raising alot and starting to get insta cold called by everyone behind me, I limp hands that have value against the feild, generally a loose passive feild. These hands include JTs, J9s, T9s, A6s, etc, sometimes 44-66, it really depends what I think they think of my raise, you know?

I also limp ATs/AJs/AQs a fair amount with the intention of limp raising, this obviously is in a different textured game though.

I seldom - never open limp in late position, an odd exception might be when the blinds will call any 2 and I'm on the button and my raise will only serve the purpose of bloating the pot, but I can't let go a chance to play these horrible players with position. Again, very rare situation for me.

I overlimp a TON of crap.

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.

Why is this an advantage? If you bet, won't the maniac raise still, making it more likely you'll end up hu?

I think its better to limp if you have a good multiway hand like QJs. People are more likely to come along for the lags raise and 2 bets, oppose to your raise and the Lag's 3bet.
