Late in Multi Table tournaments when the blinds are huge limping big hands can be very profitable.
Here's the thinking, limping bloats the pot even further and induces action. Players will see this as a weak play and shove mediocre hands to try to steal the pot.
Before everyone starts to chime in, I am not saying you should limp always and I'm not saying early or middle stages this is a good strategy.
Also if somehow you are at a very passive table with 2 tables left in a 500+ person tournament and 5 people limp behind when you limp AA then you will probably not win the hand.
If anyone in this thread says it is a horrible bad play then they either don't understand the point I'm making or are just an ignorant fish themselves and are incapable of having a meaningful conversation abut poker.
