Sick and [censored] tired of limpers (even if they are profitable)

[BarryLyndon]

I play tourneys and SNGs almost exclusively. I am in the 20s and 30s in SNGs and play 20s in tournaments. In middle stages, where punishing limpers is highly profitable, I tend to not push them around enough. I get worried too much that somebody (even if it's MP) is trying to trap. Or they will call with trash. So, with trash hands where I'm sure I can improve my stack by 20%, I tend to shy away at times. Not always - I mean, sometimes I suck it up and push. But, othertimes, I bitch out.

I hate limpers so badly - I know they are profitable, but slapping passive-aggressive vaginas around 2 or 3 hours a night gets tiring, especially when one of those vags happens to call with 44 or KQ after limping MP. Or "traps" with KK by limping CO - 1 and I wind up with KJs on the blind and decide to push because the pot is 300 and I have 800 left.

Basically, NOBODY on Full tilt raises anymore. Like, 50% of the fields I play in, I feel like I'm playing in a kiddie pool. How do you deal? (besides the answer "play cash games").
