at these stakes TPTK is quite weak especially if you don't have any draws. instead of worrying about whether you're driving opponents out, i try to play ak/aq as hands to trap villians at the table with. many times, i think people feel attached to TPTK simply because they raise a significant amount preflop. at these stakes, i would simply limp in with ak/aq from early and mid position. if the table is incredibly loose and you find a bunch of limpers ahead when you're in late position, you should without a doubt raise. however, most of the time it suffices to limp. if you miss the flop and are without any great draws, it's an easy fold. however, when you do hit your pair, read your opponents very carefully. having not raised preflop, your likely to have better pot odds to be playing with. in my experience, you push your monsters hard preflop, earn your money, and try to maintain it or grow it by hitting your draws or traps with all of the other hands. it will definitely test your reading skills, but this will only make you a better player and one that won't fret when in these types of situation.
