yea totally agreed, the reason why i dont limp in with AA, AK and such is that others limping in will draw against you. Sure you want more fish but you dont want the BB that checks in with 6 2 off suit to catch trips or two pair or straight etc...my advice raise modestly, wif AA or AK your pretty much boss and you should go in for a raise of 30% more than the BB. The people most likely to call are people holding pockets or similar hands, from that point its basically a race.

For me it all depends on my position and the number of players at the table. If im playing a 10 person tourney, i play pretty tight, I even folded A J facing a raise and a re-raise. So yea as far as limping in out of position I wouldnt do that cuz you might get caught in a raise so i really dont play it, unless the tourney's down to 3 people then A top pair is pretty boss and if you bet modestly you should scare off any draw or you'll be able to gauge if someone has the nuts.
