Limping with 100xbb can be fine in alot of situations. Limping with 50xbb, can be fine in some situations. Limping with 20xbb is almost never going to be a good ide a.

    Just thought I would put up this post from another thread !

    Seriously though DOHHs and Garys maths have convinced me. If it is a real limpfest, and the chances are you will see a flop, there is loads of value in a limp,and it is the way to go.
    The OP is a little confusing as he refers to it being the £22 deepstack, and I cant believe this would happen.The experienced guys would kill all limpers ! He later refers to the main event so it was probably the £22 doublestack in which you may see this passive play and the blinds may well limp and check too. At least I think we have agreed now its not a shove !

    I would say you are getting a cheap chance at hitting a set, so i would take the limp. Minimum risk and if you hit, happy days because it would be hard to put you on it.

    If not then i would fold and wait for a better spot. But, hey, what do i know, i am just a beginner.

    i think limping 33 in a multiway pot on the button is pretty standard in fact its a perfect spot

    This.

    The only real chance of winning a big pot here is by limping. Shoving is ok if you are confident people aren't limp calling medium pairs and you want to add 3 BB's to your stack.

    All other options suck.
