Terrible Poker or Deadly strategy?

Your postion is key with those hands. Limp from early postion could be a very profitable move and then could turn to be one that has you saying on the rail "why in the hell did I limp"!

I believe it all depends on position, table dynamics and game flow. If you're in early position and you have a LAGs behind you that will likely raise then limping may be a good move. However if I get into a multi-way pot and I meet strong resistance on a draw heavy board, I will slow down or be ready to release the hand. At the end of the day they are just a pair.

Also if you've been at the table a while then people may be able to get a read on you if you always play the big pairs the same way.

What ya think?

depends on situation

Live poker more yes, depends on your opponents, online poker forget it. Bet big and hope nobody calls. Your still going to get callers, so you will need a little luck as well.

U can lose with AA, KK, QQ and AK as well. I feel its better to play safe and just raise preflop instead of gng all in until u atleast itm but if u in the lower half of the field u should probably go all in with any of those

I think you want to limp in with AA or KK , you should be ready to fold post flop if the board is tricky

yes depends on table and feel of table - if end of tourney go all in preflop - if beginning expect lots of donks to call

I hate A-A, never want to see em :)

i hate jj i always lose with jj so i just fold them when i get them!
