Can't really think of a hand with 44 and without Ace, that I would openlimp UTG.
My limping range is rather strong compared to what other people at this stake limp with, I think.
I change it a lot depending on table dynamics (at tight tables, I don't openlimp, at loose tables, I openlimp almost all of the "hit or miss" hands from the early positions.)
You gave me another interesting view on bluffing. Haven't really thought of what hands to use in the context of all the hands that I am playing.
However, I found myself praying that MP player would fold, after making the play, which was a strong sign that I chose a bad spot. Much like monik pointed out, MP is way too likely to call with very marginal holdings to make this a good move.
I think, I'm getting carried away in multiway pots pretty often, where I'm trying to fight a player that I percieve as "stealing too often" and disregard additional players in the pot.
This thread has had an really interesting effect on my overall play. Obviously I'm taking more factors into account, when evaluating a situation for bluffability, but it also has made me raise (smallish) for value much more often.
