Every once in a while I will hang on to a 9 10 off or a 67suited to see a flop for a limp. If there are no face cards on the flop, you could have a winner. If everyone else is in the hand, the chances are that most of them have an A or some other overcards, so you probably won't see any come to the flop. Playing only overcards in the pocket will never win you the game consistently, (unless you can bluff really well.) Having 2 overcards in your hand is a rare occurance. Having them hit the flop could be even more rare. While everyone else only plays aces, I'll play most cards (8-K), but not the A. That way if there is no A on the community, I can either hit a hand of bluff because no one else got the A that they were hoping for.
