From my experience at the smaller stake tables (Blinds 1-2), I play these hands different than most. The tables I tend to play at are very aggressive tables. Pre-flop raises with crap hands like K-J suited are very common. I try to maximize value pre-flop by check-raising and min raising raisers.
So If i am in early position, I will limp with AA, KK. hoping the pot will get raised after me. If it is a small raise 7-10$, I will usually push all in when the action comes back around to me. If it is a decent raise 12-24 range, I will min raise them back if i have the stack (100-300$), and give them a smile. 9/10 they will re-raise me back all in. Some will fold. But this is what I want. Mainly I want as much of the other peoples money in the pot as I can get, while still eliminating them pre-flop. this gives me a greater return on the pot, than just heads up 1:1 would give. Sure double up's are nice, but why not get the extra cash?
Late position, it really is a feel it out. If its limped pot, I will raise the pot, (ie 6 lipmpers would be 12$ + 3$ blinds = $15 raise) either will get re-raised or folded most of the time, Not many people can call $17-25 preflop with nothing, and they will try to steal a steal with a all-in. If its just me and the blinds, I will go all-in hoping they put me on a steal and pay me off, other wise might as well just get the hand over with. Not worth playing a few dollar pot and letting them catch up.
