theory of poker question

[DCWildcat 0]

In the last paragraph on page 64, Sklansky says something to the extent of:"In NL Hold 'Em, it is generally acceptable [he might have said advisable] to call with aces and kings." (and yes, he means preflop).Context: Those of you who have read Super System may also remember this. In the deception section, Sklansky brings up an example of how his fundamental theorem of poker applies. It's the hand where Bones Berland raised from early, and Brunson called with QQ. Flop comes Jxx, Bones bets and Brunson calls; turn comes x, Bones bets and Doyle goes all in (Bones calls). Critics raked Brunson for making the call, saying that Bones most likely had AA, KK, or JJ there, and the only hand that he could have played this way that would call Doyle's all in would be AJ. Doyle responed by saying that Bones had limped every time he held AA or KK previously, so he knew Bones probably had AJ. Sklansky notes that Bones made a typical pro play, then followed that statement with the sentence above.Am I the only one confused by this?? Limping from EP with AA or KK seems very un-Sklanskyan, or maybe I just read too much of his limit stuff.

Most of that applies to tough games because someone is going to raise preflop, like, 90% of the time...and by limping you can limp/reraise if the pot gets big preflop or you can set up a trap if it's heads up.He talks about limping with big pairs in HEPFAP, too.
