Default Re: Limping AA UTG - 10 handed full ring?

I usually limp with big hands UTG, but obviously dependent on stacks sizes and reads. The reraise (if possible) also depends on number of callers and size of the raise. If someone makes it 5xBB and it will be heads-up back to me I am usually thinking check-raise on the flop. If it is 2xBB with 3-4 callers I will make a substantial raise, and give away my hand hoping to play a big pot heads-up or take it down right there. I think that taking 12 or so BB's is just as good as making a standard raise UTG in terms of equity since opponents will put you on such a narrow range anyways (I usually don't play LAG) and play against you only to spike a set. Obviously, you need to become weak-tight post-flop if 7 limpers see the flop.
