Re: Is Limping UTG w/ AA Bad?
If you are very very sure someone behind you will raise and you can as a result get a large portion of the field trapped for 2 or 3 bets preflop then limping with AA in EP is fine.
But you have to have the specific read that the above scenario will occur.
There are more people in the pot thus reducing your chance of winning the hand but the larger pot more than compinsates for this. However if you let a bunch of hands in and the extra money doesn't go it, that's a disaster.
In a game where people are likely to call your initial raise anyway then you should raise.
