Wait, I'm confused how these two statements are related to one another: 1. I overlimp these in bigger games (where are these games btw!?) and 2. But the strategy of raising them preflop is equivilant to betting and raising every time and playing decently preflop?
I think this would be an example of the opposite: perhaps giving up a bit preflop (although really probably not) but gaining an edge from our postflop play and hand reading skills in big pot situations.
FWIW I can't think of many lineups where the combination of our opponent's preflop ranges and postflop skill would make limping better than raising in most (I think all but I can see limping QTo I suppose) these situation.
And of course it works against bad players, but they all limped to us so they're probably bad.
