Hello my dear, it all depends on many factors. But this range is somewhat confusing. to begin with, I already visualize a Q5s as limp, however Q8s a connector with 3 gap is not. That is much better for limp. On the range of pairs I agree, however partially. 55 sb vs bb 15 bb - is it limp? or else you in the bb with 15 bb vs sb that limps? Another issue is to generalize to trap every top of the range by limping. It depends, would the table with a 50bb+ effective stack with multiple limpers and calling station vs limp with AA in EP?
I liked the mix you made between low suited connectors with limp and some AXs, KX s and some suited high connectors and suited connectors for raise, it seems well balanced to me. The point is that poker has many nuances and mathematics becomes an art with so many non-mathematical parameters that poker involves, psychological patterns, intuition and information.
There is no formula, the ranges are just parameters created based on the players' tendencies in order to exploit deficiencies or points of advantage. The funny thing is that everything changes.:)

And like a work of art, a play, a concert, a poem or a book, the experts and professionals will always have very acceptable and logical points of view and explanations. However, only the artist knows why he did it and why. If you ask him to explain, he probably won't. every second is unique for the artist and if he stops to explain what happened, he loses the present moment. Artists make and experts comment.

Poker is a fluid game <3 it does change and runs on so many factors <3 we need all sides of it to FULLY dominate <3 I appreciate the limp tactic though <3 and I am sure many people are figuring that out here <3
Great points added by Vitor <3

IT definitely stems from how I started <3 I actually limped there because I had no idea what I was doing but there comes a time when you learn to use a deficit as a weapon. :p You have an arsenal of traps I have walked right into thinking I was all safe :p then wham-o :p

it's like I optimized my hero calls facing aggressive opponents. As I've always liked the art of the bluff, I understand when a bluff doesn't make sense.;)

I don't have a problem with that, I'm nothing at all. What I appear to be to others is their conception:p

bro Q8 is a fold

You just wrote that for nothin look at the graph
q8 is gonna be dominated and has little EV
so ditch it

Let them play Q8 against our range

EV++++++++
