it depends on how aggro the table is as to whether or not i'll try this play.

yesterday i had the pleasure of being put at 2 very aggro tables and did this play twice, once with AA once with AK.

the AA one i had limped 88 about one orbit before and the bb pushed vs about 5 limpers. i err on the side of caution and fold

next orbit, pick up AA, same guy in the bb- i limp to him and he pushes again. A9 suited gets stacked.


i don't think it's any more of a common occurance now than it has ever been. I can only relate what i've seen but i really feel it's just a standard play that pops up a few times during a tournament. especially as the blinds get large and the aggression ramps up around the 100-200 level and above.
