re: AAxx in LP with 5 or 6 limpers in front - I think it somewhat depends on the table. If I think I can drive out all but 1 or 2 of then with a pot-sized raise, I'll raise. If the table is such that they'll all call, then just limp and play for a set.

For a while, I was also mini-raising with position on draw-type hands in multi-way pots. Idea: I really want everyone to call because I'm getting the most bang for my bucks. If you do that it's easy to get away from. Also, if there are 5 or 6 limpers before me in LP, I do view AA as a "draw-type" hand. I may bet it unimproved sometimes, but the flop is going to have to be pretty optimal to do so.
At the moment, I've gone for raising full pot when I raise, but I'll have to admit that my results were actually better when I was doing this mini-raise strategy, which may be better if you have little fold equity. It just becomes very tempting to CB too often (I like to think that I don't, but that may be wrong) after raising pot.

You are raising oop and can't raise that much so you aren't getting anyone with a decent hand to fold preflop and now they might have a better idea what you have and they have position.
If you played it for a limp, you lose 25 cents. You play for a raise, you likely win an extra $1 or lose $2.50+. I don't like the difference.

Not great, but it's actually better than I would have guessed. Obviously, I'm much worse off if he's got a set here.
