General Limp Considerations
Low Cost, Small Pots: Limping allows you to see cheap flops with marginal or speculative hands that have great potential to improve. The downside is that you give information that your hand is probably not very strong, and opponents can exploit you with raises.
Pot odds and Implied Odds: When you clean, you're looking for good implied odds (the potential to win a big pot when you hit your hand). With speculative hands, such as low pairs or suited connectors, the key to profiting is to hit a strong hand and then extract value from opponents willing to pay.
