Open-limping?

If you have a known villain who will raise any two in an unraised pot from the button preflop, couldn't you make the argument for open limping in CO/MP3 with a strong hand with the intention of rr?

If you're on the BT against a very weak SB or BB that makes a lot of mistakes post flop, you might stand to gain more from them if the hand goes deep than you would if you just stole their blinds.

You can also simply call if they love firing multiple barrels when you've "shown weakness".

I guess my point in all this is that there are creative ways to take advantage of the very aggressive nature of online players.

I had a great example the other day against one of our posters here. I limped AA UTG with the plan of lrr most of the players at the table. However, it folded to the bb who checked. The flop came 9 high. He bet all 3 streets about 3/4, and I did nothing to make him stop. We showed down and he had flopped middle pair. He said "lol after the hand and probably thought my play was fishy. Meanwhile I'm scooping the max.
