Limp-reraising in microlimit games

[chillout85]

Was just wondering what peoples opinions it were, I couldn't seem to find any other threads on the subject. Are there certain table dynamics where it might be justified? I mean in general it seems to be kings or aces people do it with but would anyone ever recommend doing it with any other cards, under any circumstances? I've been kind of experimenting with it a bit recently on nl25 at Party, always with kings/aces, limping in ep (usually utg or sometimes mp) on particularly loose tables before reraising. I've found that it can be effective for building a big pot preflop sometimes, especially when there has been a raise and 1 or more callers as people seem to call the re-raise a reasonable amount of the time (even though you're clearly repping a monster). Of course it has its obvious drawbacks, there's no guarantee someone will raise even on a loose table and a few times I've ended up playing multiway limped pots which can lead to trouble easily. My opinion at the moment is that its a bit more hassle than its worth, and while, sure, everyone might fold when you raise utg you'll avoid some tough situations. Perhaps it may be acceptable once in a while just to mix your play up? Do u ever see it at higher stakes games? any insight into this is appreciated
