I'm a lot more passive pre-flop these days with this holding, and as a result it is quite common to take stacks of people playing AJ etc when the flop comes Axx. Of course, you have to be more wary of flops like AQx AJx ATx, but at the end of the day you have a drawing hand preflop, you might as well draw with it while it's as cheap as possible.

Have to disagree entirely.
I think its ridiculous not to raise AK pre flop, if your not raising this hand then your only raising such a low % of hands that your action will be limited and your oppenents will know what a nit you are.
I would say NEVER limp pre flop with any hand, unless there have been 3 or 4 limpers and you have like 55.
Even if there are 5 limpers and you have 88 raise 10-12bb, take the blinds or get the pot heads up, at this point cos your behind the limpers you will most likely be in position and you can put your oppenent on a quite accurate range of hands, low pp and sc. An A x x flop is great for you to cbet at, most flops are, your in position and in control of the hand.
If you get 4 callers fine, your in position most of the time again, have control of the hand, it will often get check to you and you have a hand that can flop a monster here.
So like i said, never limp pre flop ever.
