Re: AA
When you take implied odds into account, limping behind you isn't necessarily -EV. Limping creates immediate pot odds of more than 2-to-1, plus you will likely pay off at least a couple bets after the flop unless it's something absurd like 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] when you hold the red aces.
Open-limping AA in a loose game is ridiculous. It's rare (in my experience) to find a game where pots are six-handed without a raise but heads-up with a raise. Give someone a chance to cold-call with 22 while the big blind defends with J6s!
