I'd prefer the ace to be suited as opposed to the King, but I'd take a flop with the hand. Just be careful if the flop is double suited. Even though its a 1 way hand, if the board comes with 3 broadway cards you have a good chance of scooping as there will most likely be no low.

I'm limping too, and Hellmuth says play it. Of course he has no bracelets outside of holdem...

You really need a J to flop with another broadway card (or a 9), although if you 2pr the flop you might take it down with 1 bet since many limpers are playing very low-oriented hands.
I suggest playing a high only hand once in a while to keep opponents guessing about you. When I know someone only plays A24x or so you can bluff or earn pots on high card flops.
Agreed on the suited factor.
See a cheap flop and hover over the muck button.

MP I'm generally limping/raising 80/20 or so. LP/Button raising/limping about 80/20. Let the table dynamic determine how you play it. Tighter the table, the more likely I am to raise, looser=less likely.

I'm only raising for value in LP mulitway. If unopened before me, it becomes for isolation. EP I'm not usually raising, here it becomes more for shania(to build strength for your big AA2+, etc hands). EP, you're OOP, rarely isolating and not sure if it's for value yet. I like value raising these types of 1 way hands in LP. You're able to build a big pot w/little invested, while maintaining position through the rest of the hand.

i usually try to see the cheap flop(which looks like you probably will with 2 limpers already) and hope to hit the bingo flop.
