Re: Limping AA UTG, L1

What do you gain by limp re-raising that you don't by just raising

You can sometimes clear out some small pairs. If you raise to t60, there is a good chance that you'll get called by a mid pair, which will then give the implied odds for other small pairs to call.
If you limp and the same player that would have called with 88 now pops it to 60 and gets 2 callers behind him, now you have a chance to force some of them out out of the hand with a substantial re-rasie. The last thing you want is to get in a multiway pot with a couple smaller pairs looking to hit a set against you.
The caviat is that you have to learn when to let go of you aces post flop when you don't get anyone to raise preflop.
