my standard play with aces: limp/call/check preflop depending. check or call flop check or call turn bet/raise/3-bet/cap river depending. [/ QUOTE ] You may want to throw in a fold preflop every so often for metagame purposes.

Re: Limping Aces (and others)
OP, since you asked...
Yeah, it sucks, we've all had AA in late position and only won the blinds. But... In the cutoff, you have to raise AA. If the blinds are tight (especially TAGs), then they will sometimes defend their blinds to give you the action you want. Being in a steal position disguises your hand enough that just limping is wrong/suspicious. The only case I could even imagine limping AA in late position is if there is a 75/60 MANIAC after you who will try to isolate your "weak limp" ~100% of the time. But even then, I'd still raise.

Re: Limping Aces (and others)
If you're raising my blind from the CO, I'm calling with a lot of hands that aren't complete trash. If you limp in the CO and I have 73o in the BB, the most you are winning from me is 1SB unless I outflop you or the flop is A73.

Re: Limping Aces (and others)
Poker is hard enough as is, use the KISS method (keep is simple stupid)
Always raise/reraise whenever possible preflop with AA in limit hold em. 99.9999% of the time this is the best play and in the .0001% of the time it isn't, it's a very very very small difference. You'll lose alot more bets doing it incorrectly once than gain doing it correctly 10 times.
