Interesting question and one I run into often at the micro stakes. Here's where my head goes, and I'm curious if my thinking is correct.
Honestly I'm happy to raise AKo in position against limpers as it usually only has 3 outcomes. Lets say two players limp, I raise 6BB and they both call.
1. If flop comes Kxx I'm value betting all the way. If one of the limpers leads the flop I'm raising to push out draws and hopefully isolate. Where I run into trouble is these same players will chase their draws regardless of odds and this can sometimes lead to an awkward River, especially if their short stacked.
2. If the flop comes all unders I tend to check behind against 2 or more players and C-bet heads up. I usually get called at which point I'll give up on the hand unimproved as the players at micro stakes will call down with any piece of the board.
3. If I get played back at strong at any point, I think more often than not I'm behind. Granted I do stack some folks overplaying their weaker TP but the majority of the time I lose a lot of money vs. opponents playing irrational hands PF and are hitting highly disguised 2 pair or better. For the most part players don't play back at you at these micro levels unless they have a big hand. What worries me is this will make me completely predictable/exploitable if I ever move up.
So basically what I take from Fnords post is value bet the crap out of these strong hands when you hit?
