LOL I like to play the Rocky theme song when I'm getting warmed up to play. Eye of the Tiger is good too.

I always raise 4x except when there's a very short stacked player in the SB or BB.

I'm not sure this is bad. I'm somewhat persuaded by the discussion in NLHE:TAP. I haven't tried it enough to know how it plays though.

It works fine for hands like T8s against weakish players in the blinds. I tend to do this with hands that are not easily dominated and that I am willing to call a raise from the blinds with. If you play well post flop then limping is +EV (note that raising could be +++EV depending on your opponents).
