    When is it best to limp with AA, even thou raising is the standard play, you have to change it up sometimes so when is it best to do this?

    most players would advise against limping aa eva but i do use it sometimes and it has been a great weapon for me limp to entice from button or small blind you can do this if you strongly beleive you are going to get raised then it a matter of 3 bet and see what happens but a good player will see this as sneaky super strong so most times its a fold and you gain a little with no risk you can flat the raise disguise you hand exceptionly but it can get ugly for you because its hard to no where you at post flop you look weak pre flop so a good c bet is coming no matter what your opponent is holding if you dont mind runnin alittle risky then check the flop then ship raise your opponents bet it will look very fishy but they fold and you got some vaule for your aa in a sb v bb situation hopefully they hit top pair and and put you on a stone cold air swing and you get payed. well thats where i will limp aa anyway if your lucky and make your aa with a great flop then sit back and flat every street and re raise all in on the river.but remember if you get beat than its kind of your own fault for limping aa lol and if he flop is just ugly and you get 4 bet your in a bad spot are you good enough to lay them down?? if you lay them down dont open fold thinking you can show strenth for a latter hand because everyone will just see that you complet0ly fuck0ed up aa
    lol good luck

    I personally think if you limp with AA you have to be willing to fold if neccesarry or lose a certain amount of chips from the get go.

    That's it very simply put I spose playing cash games it would be a super bad idea to play big hands like this but in tournaments it can be the 1 hand that puts you on 200+BB whithin the first hour or so. I played AA a couple of weeks ago very risky but was the rundown it's level 2 of a fairly short stack mtt I'm ung AA limp flop is nothing check big blind checks back turn nothing check check river I remember was an 8 board was unconected no flush no real anything the hole hand was played like we asleep so I just jam the pot 10k into a pot of 500 so ridiculous and bad that it had to be a air swing BB thinks smiles at me and calls rolls over k8 top pair nice kicker well he didn't smile for long I no that is super risky but I doubled up was then able to control the table take no risk and mop up all the easy chips taking me to final then the win this was a small 20$ game And only1000$ prize pool so do I wanna play 3 hours get 12th or something and walk with no money and a wasteof 3 hours or play that 1 hand alittle radical and if it works get a Cruze ride to the cash if it fails owell half hour and 20$ no harm done
