Re: Limping in EP first in w/ AKo and AQo (et all)

It works well in games that are tightish but very aggressive. Meaning 2-3 to the flop for 2-3 bets. This gets you "isolated" by worse hands - hands that would've folded had you raised. It has to be balanced, of course, but it's a very valid strategy.

Excellent point. I'm think also that it makes up more bets post flop in multi-way pots in a loose game when it hits if your hand wasn't given away. The downside is more cracked hands, but the upside is those who see the flop with any A they get and call down every time it hits. Add in those who call down with any PP or piece of the flop and it's good for a lot of c/r'd flops and BB's to the river. Not all of those A lovers coldcall A4o, but they'll limp everytime with it and call it down.
