The table was pretty normal. Not many pfr's, many showdowns. I do this probably half the time in the blinds, then check-raise if i hit TPTK. I usually open-raise AK and re-raise limpers on the button and in CO. Thoughts? I just got pokertracker and my PFR is a weakly 11%. my VPIP is ~20%. (This after 1500 hands.)

I am guessing you are asking if the limp is okay in the blinds. I typically like to raise to limit the field, but it isn't always great as you are building a pot OOP, and without a made hand. I think mixing it up is alright as well, as you will get paid off by weaker aces for more.

There is a post currently running in the mid/high forum about this, and while it might be different for those games, it is still good to read what smart people have to say. Here (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&amp;Number=2176656&amp;page=1&amp;view=c ollapsed&amp;sb=5&amp;o=14&amp;fpart=1) is the link to the thread.
