Does anyone like to come in a Raise here with AQ to limit the size of the field with the limpers or play to see a flop in hopes of an ace or better yet two pair/straight?

You are not really in late position, you are in late MP, one behind the CO. It's not just semantics, there's a big difference between being on the button, one off the button and two off the button...

That said, I would come in for a raise here. I make it 120 to go. I don't want the blinds to see a cheap flop plus a raise might buy you position (if the CO and button fold).

[Sprayed]

Raise it every time.

[donkbee]

Raise it.

If there were maybe 5 limpers before you, I might limp along. Not here.

[Fimanoid]

Make it 120 to go. There is no point of limping with good cards here.

What were you hoping to see on the flop after you raise?

Seriously though, I will sometimes limp this (especially this early in an SNG), but only because I'm trying to patch a leak of mine involving AK-AJ and over c-betting...
I personally want to be able to easily let these kinds of hands go if there is action and the flop doesn't hit me. (ie: Q-high flop or 2 pair, A-high flop on UNRAISED board, or Flush/Broadway, of course)

[ripjohngotti]

I hear ya magnetic. Either way. The lower down you raise with aces, the more risk you put yourself into with limpers

[Scuba Chuck]

Fold it.
