I read about "Deep limping" in TJ Coultier's book. It seems kinda dangerous, and against pretty much everything I heard about "power poker". But I'm up for tryin' new things, and it worked like a charm here!

This is something I do much more than any tourney regular I know I think. However, this spot is horrible for it. First off, if you're going to limp behind a limper, I think it needs to be in early position and I think you need to be the first person to limp behind. Limping behind two limpers just makes it more and more likely that people will limp behind becuase of the great price you're offering. You also may want to steer clear from it a little bit because in lower limit tournies, people are more inclined to limp behind when the limp parade starts then they are to isolate a few limpers
