Super Turbo FTP: Should I attack Limpers at 10/20

I am not sure, how often I should attack Limpers at the first blind level 10/20. At the moment I try it often (range: best 50% hand) and raise to 50, which is often called , somtimes raised. Then after a conti bet the villain sometimes raises and often folds . I think it ist neraly 0EV play.What could I do better? Should I attack the limps less often and is the amount of 2,5BB too less?

I like to use 3-4x sizes and start with a value range (stronger hands, not top 50%, closer to 15-20%).The reason I do not often suggest default raising limps with a wide range is because you're often facing opponents that will call your limp raise with a wide range of hands.Further, you're OOP, which is a larger disadvantage when deeper stacked.  Further, you're usually at the point in the match (early) where you have the least amount of information on your opponent, making OOP postflop play in a raised pot with marginal hands one of the more difficult things to do correctly.Of course you adjust to your opponent, if they are really weak postflop, you can raise away, regardless of their preflop calling range and the stack sizes/positional disadvantage (position isn't really a disadvantage in that situation of course).
