I'm overlimping this on the Button pretty much 100% of the time. I'm really looking to see flops for cheap in position with speculative hands. However, if all your opponents are wizards or you're not confident with where your postflop skillz in position stack up, certainly nothing wrong with folding either. It's possible I overestimate some of these crappy offsuit hands (74o on the Button, yup, I'm seeing a cheap flop) but if it's a mistake it's likely a very small one. And for meta game purposes it lets others know I'm still playing (which is helpful thanks to my nit EP/MP standards), especially if I get to table my hand.
In the SB, I agree it's a lot dicier. If all the limpers are wizards or we don't feel great against this field OOP, fine, I'm totally ok with dumping. But I'm mostly trying to see a cheap flop and with only one other to act preflop that looks like it's going to happen so I'm willing to take that small risk. But being OOP I might be overestimating my profitability here, so certainly not hating on a fold, and again I'm willing to take this small risk for almost meta game benefits (I'm still at the table and playing hands) alone.
