I think having a limping range could be useful in a tournament setting. It could be useful for entering pots cheap with speculative hands that play well multiway (suited connectors/gappers particularly), or disguising the strength of powerhouse hands like AA/KK and building a big pot early. Plus you could use it to set up a limp/3bet scenario to end hands early with big hands, and then semibluff smaller hands. For the latter I'm thinking something like:
-limp in from EP with like 97s or w/e
-3bet a raiser
-Get called by AA/KK/AK
-x/r low flop
-AA folds to what has to be a set
-Profit.
It's risky, but in some situations you could potentially take down a massive pot vs a massive hand with complete air.
