3-6 live. Should I try to limp with suited Aces early pos.

[Vee Quiva]

3-6 live game. The table is predominantly passive with one or two slightly aggressive players. It is a no fold'em hold'em game.

Does it make sense to limp with ATs or small suited Aces with the idea that there will be 4-7 players to the flop?

I'm not raised very often when I do this and if I hit the Ace it's usually good (at least until someone hits their two pair or runner draw on the river).

The problem is if it does get raised, I'm probably going to lose 3 bets because I call 2 preflop and then the flop is usually laying up to 18-1 to put in another bet to see what happens on the turn.

So is this a leak or smart strategy in a loose passive game?
