Default Re: Overlimping AA for deception?

[ QUOTE ]
Limping aces is a play for an aggressive game where you are fairly sure you are going to be raised. Overlimping is risky in that after a few limpers, players start limping in with small pairs and suited connectors and crap that you really aren't all that excited about having around.

On the other hand, you have aces and your preflop limp is very deceptive. I'd save it for the most laggy games, but think it's a viable play.

my 2 cents.

You bring up a good point that I didn't mention in my post: Say 2 people limp and you come along for 1 bet as well...The dudes with 22 and T9s in the cutoff and on the button are correct to come along. Bleh. Add that to the flop scenario I mentioned in my post, and it seems like you are preventing your opponents from making mistakes by just limping.

But...sometimes you will get bet into on the flop, be able to raise and thin the field, and get the pot heads up or 3 handed without your opponents knowing how strong you really are. This situation is nice, and could be an argument for overlimping (in addition to the obvious times you wil be able to limp-reraise preflop)
