I like to mix-in big pair limps at a rate of about 8%. I use Harrington's watch rule: if the second hand on my wristwatch (which is not the exact time) is within 1st 5 secs, I limp. Unexploitable obviously.

Seems to me that people tend to play excessively tight in the 1st hour of the FTP $750K/$1M and big pairs have a lower avg expectation than later on. Limping is considerably below that avg expectation, obviously, but I think that doing it very occasionally adds the right kind of variance.

Unexploitable, yes, but since your opponents normally don't pay enough attention, it's a waste. Focus more on maximizing value than trying to be unexploitable. Also, if you play tight from early positions and open-raise all hands you play, that's pretty much as unexploitable as it gets.
