Limped pots in the SB Limped pots in the SB

Hey guys, I've been following a strategy in limped pots out of the SB for a while now, and while it "feels right" and makes sense to me, I realized that I should probably run it by some outside ears to see if my reasoning is actually sound and hear what other people do in similar situations.

When the games good enough to have weak limpers (we're not talking about anyone with any sort of "limping strategy", but rather the fish who limp every hand, you know the kind I'm talking about), you inevitably find yourself in the SB deciding whether it's best to chase those pot odds or just let it go.

I find myself completing a lot when one player has limped and the BB is not the type to pop and up and try to iso OOP, because A) I have great odds, but more importantly B) I'm actually able to steal a significant amount of pots 3way when I miss, even OOP, when nobody has the initiative and nobody really cares to go to war for a small pot.

However, once we get two or more limpers (going 4+way to the flop), I fold a ton. While getting better expressed odds, my fold equity postflop approaches nil and I find it just so hard to make good decisions out of position against this many players.

I'm wondering what you all think of this strategy and what your own is. For the record, I play NL100 right now, so I don't know what kind of rake considerations come into play.

The worse the players are the more likely I am to complete, depending especially on whether the BB is likely to raise.

I often see players mucking in SB in a limped pot because they think it's 'correct' even if there are a bunch of weak players.

If you are playing NL100 with a bunch of limped pots seems you're in good game. Is this live?
