Limping in isn't always a bad play.. It's hard to read when you do hit a big hand and alot of players will bleed off chips with their top pair or 2 pair, mean while you're sitting on a monster
To make it harder to read me, I just mix up my raises. Sometimes with pocket 3s I'll raise 5-6x the blind and then with AA or KK I'll only do 3 times, etc...when you end up in showdowns and people see what you actually had, they then can't read your pre-flop raise well at all.
