Did you wright that cyberbabel? First the actuall idea is no that bad, in short, if you know a player will raise then yes you can limp. But you would be much better moving tables than to resort to this sort of play.

Hi cyberbabel.
My point of view. Limp strong hands is one of the worst mistakes you can do. Moves like this can do a good profit at the begining, but not fot too long (if someone do this to me, i quickly put a note in the player).

i am shore that cyberbabel has no idea about strategic ways of playing like SSS or BSS! because i see he does not realise the danger of limping or raising a bit in order to steal a blind! i shall patiently wait for medium strong pair or high card combinations and show him a lesson about steal-resteal situations

The only thing that happens when you limp with a strong hand is you get screwed. If you imp with KK, you have no idea what your opponent. They maybe be holding 7 2 and the flop comes with 7 7 2. The only one who will be getting commited to the hand is YOU. BEcause you had a monster hand and now you don't want to waste it. KK doen't come to often, it would be ashame to play it like this especially as there's a good chance your weak opponent will flop a good hand. Your chance to flop a K? 2 Outs.... from the whole deck 2 outs...Raise that s**t when you have KK pls

Playing $5/10 NL once, get 9-6o in big blind, UTG limps in with AA - probably expecting a raise. Everyone folds including SB! I check. Flop is 875 with two suited cards. I bet out and he raises, so I re-raise and he re-raises etc etc until both stacks are in the middle. I won.
Never slow-play monsters unless you expect a raise with a bunch of aggressive players, if none happens play that hand carefully!

Something very similar append to me yesterday, except that I was holding the rockets and raised 6 BB out of position (SB or BB I think). Some guy calls me and the flop brings 7K6. I bet the pot and he calls, making me think he has a K! The river is a 8 and I bet the pot again, he raises and I put the final cents to go all in. He had 9 10! Be aware... There are people willing to pay 6BB with 9 10!
