In 7csfap, don't they say not to raise after a number of players are in, except with Aces, and sometimes Kings, the theory being that your equity edge is simply too high to pass up the raise?

Not quite. I post something to this effect a couple of times a month, though. IIRC, 7CS4AP recommends that you limp in late with big pairs and try to thin the field later. If people are limping in with just anything, however, then you give up too much with just a pair of Jacks. But if people are playing sanely and you suddenly find yourself in a hand where there are six limpers, you're going to be up against better-than-average hands, so limping becomes more attractive.

I think you can make somewhat of an assumption that people are limping in with just anything in this "what if i had aces" hypothetical given the stakes and the fact that they limped in with an 8 a 6 and a duplicated 2. In a higher limit game I would be much more leary of people limping in than I would be here.
