i don't limp very often, but in games with a bunch of stations, i'll limp up front sometimes, Axs and small pp mostly, because they can make the nuts/pseudonuts most easily, and i won't get enough folds to play them agressively. its not something i do a lot of online though.

i think if you're going to limp some hands up front that its important that you do it with at least a couple of differnet hand types though. there's a lot of players that limp pp up front, and nothing else, just like there's a lot of players that call raises in the blinds with pp and nothing else. that puts you at a big disadvantage against good players, because its so transparent, and you'll get blown off your hand a lot postflop by worse hands.

another thing to consider is that in some games agression levels are so high that it can be pretty tempting to limp hands like 22 to protect yourself from chucking it to a 3bet, and with higher implied odds than normal against opponents that are also agressive postflop.
