Basically I'll limp in with ATo or less if I can. Which is what I did. Then hope to hit a set or 2 pair. If I just hit 1 A on the flop. I'll usually take a stab at it. Then let it go if I meet to much resistance. I wont usually raise with it, cause I dont feel that ATo or lower is really that great of a hand. After the 3 spades hit with 1 being the K and I have the A. I figured if I didnt hit another spade I could probably take the pot anyway. Which I did. At 50nl I would have never tried a play like that.
ATo is a bad hand for limping. There's just a limited number of ways you can flop something with ATo that works well multiway. You're better off raising to isolate, and hoping you're not dominated by a better ace. The better move would have been to raise and steal the button and/or the blinds.
