Limp-Reraise with AA/KK in EP

[BoxTree]

Regarding small pairs, Ciaffone and Reuben recommend folding 55-22 unless you're on the button in an unraised pot. Basically, they're looking to avoid the unlikely but expensive set-over-set scenario. But C&R are writing about much bigger (and presumably harder) games than the 400 NL at Commerce. So...I should still be able to show a good profit by limping with any pocket pair in EP (and using the 5/10 rule to decide whether to call a raise)?

Perhaps with the tiniest pairs you may want to be a bit more careful in situations where your extremely deep stack is exposed to a very good player with another extremely deep stack, but otherwise you want to play them if the preflop price relative to other stacks is right.
