Re: Trying to vary my play...
Games I play--low limit HE in Vegas to 4/8--rarely are LAG games. The likelihood of being raised is far less than someone NOT raising AK or AQ in later positions. I have no problem raising in any position and I have no problem calling down hands where I think I may be ahead, but might also be behind. If I believe they are playing hands with thin value, I'm there. I have beaten A6 more often than lost to AK with AJ, but have lost to an AK limping in the CO. Yesterday, I wasn't in the hand, but saw JJ in middle position beat AK utg and AQ utg+1. The guy with the JJ raised after 2 limpers. It does happen.
What I'm saying is limping AA utg is more likely FPS than it is good playing. FPS is a huge leak for advancing players. I see it all the time. Many on this board are good players who know what they're doing. Many who think they are good players are really suffering from FPS. There's a very fine line between betting for value and chip spewage. I don't always find that line and stay on the right side of it. I think there are others in the same shape.
