Re: Limping in early position in a 9 handed cash game
[ QUOTE ]
If no one raises PF, and many see the flop -> Why not limp with every suited Ace ?

Reverse implied odds. Even if the game is relatively passive preflop, you will have a hard time winning a big pot OOP when you hit, but you will end up semi-bluffing or calling a lot when you lose.
Position = power.
Drawing hands like A-rag-sited out of position post flop = reverse implied odds.
Small and medium pocket pairs are something of an exception because if you flop a set, you can often win a good amount in a small stakes game even OOP vs draws, 2-pairs, and TPWK.
So, I'd be careful playing ace-rag-suited in EP even in a loose passive game. It's better to play from LP or the button.
