A question re openlimping small pockets

[FeltBelt]

I hate to openlimp as a general rule, but I have found that lately when I raise with a small to medium PP, the games have become so aggressive that I am often blown off these hands by a large RR.

Now I have begun to 50/50 limp/raise my small-ish PPs (with the occassional RR). They are the kinds of hands I definitely want to play for one 3-4BB raise, but not a 8-10BB RR, and I am finding limping with them about half the time is letting me see a lot more flops for one raise, hit my sets, and cash in.

Any thoughts on this?
