You Should Add Open Limping to Your Game

If you do this, sometimes there will more people limping after you and then bb checks. You might find yourself playing premium hands against 3 or 4 players in a small pot. I think it is better to open raise prelfop and get called by 1 or 2 players, we will have better equity against less players and the pot will be bigger.

You'll also find yourself in a lot more situations where you see a flop against 3 or 4 players with a hand that has exceptional implied odds and that plays extremely well multi-way. This more than makes up for what you describe here.
