Re: Should I ever limp with AA?
Limping with AA is a form of slowplay. When you slowplay, you do so in the expectation that there will be extra money going into the pot (because more players will be putting money in on later rounds) and that the chances of winning a larger pot more than make up for the diminished chances of winning overall. It's better to win $200 one hand in five than to win $30 two hands in five.
It's tough to improve pocket pair, so it pays to put yourself into a situation where you have good chances of winning unimproved, which means having as few opponents as possible.
