Honestly, early on in big starting stack events, I'll probably raise with QQ,KK,AA, and limp with other hands, including AK, hoping to flop a big hand and trap. I'll also raise occasionally with small connectors as a change of pace. At that stage I'm looking to call raises with trap hands against players who can't get away from big pairs. If I get big pairs, I'm happy to win a small/medium-sized pot with them rather than creating big pots pre-flop.
