Since you should always be looking for as many outs has possible to make your best hand, and if you want to limp in w/these hands that's ok but not all the time.

I won't disagree with how to play it, but people raise w/ a lot these days pre-flop...not just A-x suited...I guess in the end it's all about post flop play and how well you are at it.
