Unless you're playing against a table of zombies, this is a really dumb move. Let's put it this way, when I see someone I consider a donkey limp/raise, I assume they have AA and play accordingly. That does not mean I fold, I will often call if the price is good and there's lots of money left to play for, because most people who limp/raise AA pre flop are not good enough to fold them post flop, and so I win lots when I beat AA and lose very little when I don't.
Limp/raising is such a strong fish move, that it should only be done with junk like J4s against thinking villains who think you're a donkey.
If people are paying you off time and again when you limp/raise AA, then by all means carry on doing it, and carry on playing poker against these goons. But if you branch to online games, or play against people with at least half a brain, people will sniff out your AA time and again if you persist with this bad habit, and you'll turn a winning hand into a big loser.
Just my opinion on the old limp/raise.
Also, yes I'm raising QQ and KK, I'm also raising 77, AQs, sometimes 84s... people can not assume I have a big pair when I raise because I'm usually raising well over 15% of my hands. Don't be fooled into thinking I'm great at poker though, I'm just average.
