Default Re: Mike Caro has lost his mind!

This is correct. Playing aces in early position this way is part of an overall strategy that is all supposed to be used to properly balance and provide deception, not something to be taken individually without the rest. The overall strategies for various limits are given in table form in the back of his professional holdem report (out of print now) and in the back of his and Cappelletti's Poker at the Millenium book on holdem and omaha. I think that limp reraising with aces is acceptable on it's own in a very tight game with few mulitway pots where you don't fear a couple loose players immediately after you calling as well to induce even more calls. The risk of course is allowing the blinds to flop a hand with crap or someone calling with a dominated hand who would have folded but now out-flops you.
