Lately I moved up to 100 NL and there seems to be a hand full of limpers that play regularly. Now these guys limp with everything from A7 off, 23 suited, KK and they do nothing but play passively. I know that we're supposed to punish the limpers by raising but everyone knows that so I've been getting 3 betted and 4 betted on. It seems like the donks pour fire over the flame and accelerate the action. And after the flop they are calling stations basically these guys are terrible and they eventually go broke but they are messing up my flow. Any opinions?

The mistake would be to respond to limp too small or too big a raise. The most successful variant raise - your standard raise to add 1BB for each limper. For example, when Usually raise three times the big blind, if three limpers, your raise will be six big blinds.

Taking decisions on limpers, you must answer a few questions for you. What hands are limp? What are the reasons for this? How to behave at the big re-raise? whether assistance will come from the board? Actions will be the most thoughtful in larger mass of the collected information

Calls limpers 'donks'.

Doesn't know what to do against said 'donks'.
