Just looking for opinions....
1) Top hand (AA, KK, QQ, AK) in SB or BB. Playing 1/2, I don't see a point in raising since everyone's that limped in will just call anyways. I'd rather hide the strength of my hand.
2) Same situation but in late position with no or 1 limpers. Just call to hide strength once again knowing that BB would cap 2 bets probably anyways?

In limit or any other game, if I hold a premium hand I'm going to bet it out preflop and otherwise.
With premium hands you want to build the pot in limit, no way around that but to bet. Your going to get called, does that mean they put you on AA or KK? Hell no it doesn't. So when the board misses and you bet it out they are far less likely to just fold on the flop, let me see one more card...hopefully that next card hits and now they have to keep calling.
Big hands in limit get cracked more often than NL IMHO because you cannot protect them, at least build the pot.

It seems everytime I slow play High pocket pairs I get beat by 2 pair, a set, a straight!
No, when I get anything, and I mean anything worth playing, I put in a good size raise. I don't what some jack ass who was on the big blind with 7-2o getting a flop of 772! I raise so all the garbage gets out of the way.
And then I almost always raise again after the flop. You'd be surprised how any great hands fold when you raise again!
