Mason Malmuth has an essay where he talks about how to play aces UTG. He discussed this, I think (I don't have the book handy), with Mike Caro. Caro advocating limping with aces to get maximum players in.

In the end Mason basically reasons that it doesn't really matter what you do with aces UTG since you will so rarely get ace UTG that either way to play will not be a mistake.

My point is, don't worry about it. Raise them usually. Sometimes limp and hope for a chance to rereaise. Either way, in the long run, it's not going to make any difference.

Big pairs play well against many or few opponents. So, try adapting your plays to the table texture and see what happens.
