Default Why do so many people limp AQ/AK

I can't tell you how many times i limp AQ/KQ in a .10/.25 NL full ring game, and flop top pair, make modest bets the whole way to protect my hand, and at the showdown they reveal they limped AK and just called the whole way. Seems profitable when I lose to it like that, but when i limp with them myself I find that anyone that is going to play with me in an unraised pot always has me beat, or they fold and i win about forty cents.

Thanks in advance for you insight

If everyone is doing it, why are you doing it?

Thats because you have to limp with AA and KK sometimes too for the balance. This way people will give more respects to your limps.

you HAVE to make good sized raises and limit the fields if you are going to play AQ or KQ suited and such....In micros, everyone wants to limp and when you are limping too any one can have ANY hand. I've only been playing micros a short time but make your raises and when you hit, they'll pay you off...If you raise with KQ and get a call or a reraise you will have a much easier time determining where you stand compared to a limpfest....
