Default Re: How afraid of limpers should I be

I'm FOS, but here's what I think.

I welcome limpers with AA-KK. The only time they get me is if I play my TPGK hands too aggressively, which I sometimes do; however, I'm gonna win a lot from them if I hit a good draw. So if this is bothering you, play a little more conservative with TPGK and control pot size. When you get big draws, play them a little more aggressively on the flop; their response to the flop bet will often give you an idea of what you are up against. If you hit the turn, you're ready to roll. The rest of the hand is just poker.

I've had AA-KK cracked too many times to ever play them slow, except in particular situations against specific villains. I love it when someone else plays them slow and lets me hit my 2-pair/set/trips/OESD/flush on the flop for cheap. In the end, it won't be cheap for them.
