Raising limper(s) from the blinds

[minSim]

Here are two very common situation at micro and small stakes (6max, 100bbs).

Situation 1: Hero is SB, 1 players limps, action is up to hero.
Situation 2: Hero is BB, CO limps, SB limps, action is op to hero.

Assuming the limper(s) are the usual 30/10 or weaker ones, and not complete callingstations postflop.

My range for raising in these positions is spot on 77+, AJs+, AQo+, KQo+.
All smaller pairs I'm limping/checking, some broadways as well, SC's-1gappers etc depends on the players, my mood and image, but the smaller ones I'm folding in situation 1 quite often lately.

Reasons for a relatively tight range are obvious I assume.

Nevertheless, is there value in opening up my raising range in these spots a bit?
If yes, what hands are prefered and why those?

(fwiw, hero is playing 20/17 and stealing blinds 35% or more.)

Not the spots where you want to open up. Your ranges seem fine. You can throw in some suited connectors and you will be set

i think you should open your range to include suited connectors and take out 88 and 77

unless your making sure your not getting to cbet happy imo having some connector hands that can improve easier are better off as well with you taking the initiative with them when you flop two pair you can really pound value out of there ax hands that they are limping with

your range should be pretty player (limper) dependant

Not a spot for a static range IMO.
