Why are you limping AA?

cause almost every pot was raised preflop and i was deep (450BB) and wanted to limp r/r or play a small pot.

What hand range are you honestly limp r/r with?

FWIW, Duck limp-reraises 99-22/air here once in a while to mix up her game.

lol, and suited connectors. this man speaks the truth. i do it way more than i should, actually, but it usually gets enough respect.

etizzle have you seen me do this or are you just guessing from what i post here generally?

Honestly, I really can't see any good reason to limp AA in this spot.

i've been playing pretty aggro and people are giving me little respect. that said if i make a standard raise and low cards come and someone plays back at me it will leave me in a very tough spot pretty deep when others also have 200BB.

yes yes i know, play poker is what you would say. but it really sucks to have a read that someone is raising what they think is the best hand on some T85 flop and not knowing if it is a set or an overpair or what. so by playing a limped pot i can make it so there is less incentive to bluff/people play more honestly... and if i limp r/r i can make the pot big and have more definition to their hands by how much they raise preflop from where and if they call my limp r/r...

do you honestly not agree with any of this?

well my post was a sarcastic reference to a post made in the "limp QQ preflop?" thread.

Plus you seem to be fond of limping AA preflop so you must be doing it with some other hands too.

oh lol... just wondering if maybe you saw me yesterday at the 5/10 when i limp reraised 87s from UTG flop came 569 and i stacked 99 for a ridiculous number of big blinds, like 250. that was sweet. i=luckbox.

Yeah, I don't really agree w/ that rationale. I understand what you're saying, but I think we just approach the game with fundamentally different perspectives.
