Limping for Value with Premium pockets
 
If you are sitting at a table, and you notice the players betting top pair strongly, and folding to raises preflop... Does limping in with AA, KK, QQ, AK make sense?

I can't tell you how many times, ive reaise 3bb with these, and everyone folds...

If you truely belive you are better postflop player than any of your opponents, is limping these a +EV play? The type of table im talking about is the typical passive calling stations...

Just curious on your opinions...

I feel like its kinda like slow playing a set on a dry board.. YOu just wanna give them a chance to get committed...

Go for it if you're desperately shortstacked against deepstacked villains; they'll almost inevitably pay you off with with top pair.

Also depends on your table image, and if you only raise with premium hands. I don't mind making a play early on and raising 3x the current raise with absolute air (and showing), helps to get all the money in later on when you are actually holding AA.

if nobody is calling your preflop raises, raise with more hands not limp with premium hands.

You are playing on the wrong tables if people wont call 3xBB pf raises. Also, you arent exploiting it to your advantage
