Pre flop CO
1/3 8 handed. 500 effective. I have a tight images.
Two players limp. They are both loose regs. They both could have hands that are better than mine. They do have pre flop raising ranges that are tight. I have seen them limp/fold and limp/call. The button is a tighter old man. The blinds are both loose regs. What are you doing with these hands.

Raising all three of those hands , 100% of the time
After 2 limpers and with still 3 players behind me, all who could easily have better, I mostly lean to just overlimping these nowadays. I actually think it is quite a mistake to raise these hands large when playing short (such as sitting on my $200 short stack). Sitting larger like we are, raising certainly isn't horrible... but not my personal preference.
2 limpers used to be my cuspy cutoff where I'd lean 50/50 to raising versus overlimping non premiums (whereas I'd almost never raise versus 3+ limpers). But more recently 1 limper is now my cuspy cutoff where I'm more either/or, and especially shorter. The more limpers there are / the earlier position we are, the more likely we are going to go multiway with the worse of it (often dominated), with expensive large raises creating smaller SPRs... which is not a good result especially with non deep stacks. IMO.
