Don't ever constrict your self to one playstyleInteresting info, thanks for share it Jett!
I agree limping has become a standard at the tables, maybe to see the flops cheaply and for polarize too, but its really hard to me limping AA!
I use strategy's as gears to shift through

The limp is really being used a lot, however all fashion covers a range of people who only do what they see, but don't really understand why.
Live limp sb vs bb has been used a lot for example, balancing the range with speculative hands and value traps, however my perception of this is that there has been a change in ante structures, by the button, the button pays the same amount of the blind and is replaced by the ante. With that, the sb has much more odds to only complete the bb with a wider range of hands and it becomes essential to balance this limping range with value.
The next step is to adapt the bb defense to this new trend.
Limping with AA is very good with a 20bb effective stack - with aggressive opponents, at a passive table it doesn't make any sense to limp with AA and play versus 5 players postflop and lose all your equity.

People overvalue top pair
and bet their draws on the flop
having Aces in your range is deadly at that point for alot of equity
Heres the1 game I'm playing today
while I write this to you
Wish me no luck 100 players to go

When constructing a profitable range to play poker with
Confined within the foundations of what we were initially taught
we are missing out
But all strategy evolves
I'm just going to TRY AS HARD AS I CAN to keep this simplified and a straight forward how to.
As the theory is quite extensive and would take 10 pages
I don't give a F$^%^ about pot equity
I'm a classic man and I like that Expected Value
Preflop Range from almost any Position
Red is Raise
Blue is Limp
The comments are really gonna separate the sharks from Megalodons.
You should always be playing GTO
This Strategy is when your GTO is being shutdown by other GTO players
Switch to this strategy and range in early to mid positions to EXPLOIT those players
This is like a gear
and DO NOT THINK THAT YOU CANT SWITCH GEARS IN MID HAND
BY ALL MEANS SWITCH Strategys to what is OPTIMAL for that SITUATION
you can employ 4 different strategys preflop flop turn and river
