In these deep stack events you do not want to be playing a huge pot with AQs OOP nor does it matter if you pick up 300

these small pots add up though. i probably just complete here being oop with that many limpers and no reads, but if i wanted to raise id be making it 800-1k to try and thin the field down. for 500 more they are all calling.

i just think that you don't get the cards enough to play abc all the time and wait around for the goods. you want to find spots to isolate the weak noobs in position and use your postflop advantage on them, even if it is for 2 or 300 at a time.

A raise to 10xBB at 5 limpers is pretty large. I would have to be at the table to say whether a larger raise is better.

I think raising the limpers and trying to pick up the pot works better with 50-100xBB than 600xBB. With 600xBB, I would be more interested in flopping a big hand with a speculative hand.
