Is limp/calling with AA a reasonable approach?
In this forum, people tend to say raise initially with big pairs, and definately reraise if you limp, but I see people limp/calling with AA a lot. Is this a bad play.
This hand is from a $100 MTT, and villain is Ronenon, who appears to be sort of a regular. I was sort of suspicious of the UTG limp from this player, but it was hard to limp behind with JJ. The river bet looked like a value bet, and I thought maybe I shouldn't have called.

No I don't think so... I think you'd get bet out of too many pots when cards like these fall.

Re: Is limp/calling with AA a reasonable approach?
hmm if he had AA he was going for a check raise on the flop
other then that i would say he limped AJ off(wich would be unlikely seeing you got 2 Jacks) or maybe a small pair hmm i doubt it but there could be a possible KQ in there other then that i wouldnt know what villian could have EDIT* read the results well yeah aces i dont know normally i dont like limping aces its a bad play imo you can let alott of people in was there a aggressive table image ? in that case i can understand the limp but if the table hasnt been specially aggressive i would just raise this i guess limping on a aggressive table is pretty good for variance and to hide youre hand |

Re: Is limp/calling with AA a reasonable approach?
how do you not raise this turn... it's soo easy to rep AJ and with 2 jacks you know its fairly unlikely he has it. He's hard pressed to call this turn with 90% of the hands he bets it with.

Re: Is limp/calling with AA a reasonable approach?
i find limping with aces pre flop pretty profitable, i have been fortunate enough to be flop big hands with them, i know its not going to stay like that forever..it just depends on where you are..
early position-yes middle position-questionable late-retarded |

I never ever slowplay aces. And checking behind .. someone likes to leave alot of money at the table.

I dont like open limping anything, but I will limp behind with AA if the table conditions are right. Meaning that there needs to be an aggro player behind that will raise up the limpers a high % of the time. This situation rarely presents itself.

Re: Is limp/calling with AA a reasonable approach?
I'm not a big fan of limping AA and I don't have enough hands with this villian to know his game well. But if I did limp AA with the intention of reraising and was raised to 6X by a well-known, aggressive player, then I might just call and check-raise the flop. I think he would have expected OP to C-bet nearly 100% of the time.
