Ok I have come around to the idea that 3-4X the bb plus one bb per limper is the way to go but what about if you are to act behind >2 limpers.
Ok lets take KJo for the sake of argument. All things being equal and standard at a FR table I will raise this hand from the CO 3.5X the bb plus one bb per limper. I would imagine many here might do the same with up to two limpers but once you are acting behing 3 or more, just adding another 5c or 10c just doesn't seem to cut it. I am now looking down at a hand that I really don't feel confortable about throwing in 35+c with and am tempting to over-limp and see a cheap flop, hoping for 2-pair or a straight draw... obviously this is bad!
Should I consider over-limping here or bet even more? like 50c to rreally punish the limpers and try to steal the button. Perhaps I should throw the hand away?
Thoughts?
EDIT: please don't answer with something like:
"never play KJo from the CO"
This would hardly be helpful and would completely miss the pont as the hand I am playing is pretty much irrelivent. It could be any one of half a dozen mediocre holdings best played from late position but not necessarily the button!
