But set farming and playing suited connectors in position is also a good option provided there is enough dead money in the pot or opp has a big enough stack.
I dont quite agree on playing AK/AQ for small raises, but i do suggest at lower limits checking flops that miss you. Yeah you might loose a few preflop raises but noone will notice when you actually hit an ace as they did to!
I have lost a good chunk of change when I hit my top pair, and they hit their set, or their straight or flush on the turn, or even 2 pair on the flop. It just seams that 4-5xBB raise gets no respect, too many people come in and someone gets something better then me, or I play that guy who knows how to set me up for a good chunk of my cash with a set. I find if I slow play those cards, I know more of what everyone else has, and am able to take the pots I am more sure I can win.

Fnord: I read that three times, and feel I am missing why deuces go up in value with large stacks. can you please elaborate. Is it because you can win more chips cause they have deeper pockets when you get your set?
