Default Re: Ax-suited a loser in loose limit games?

In limit, to make flush and straight draws profitable, you have to extract value in cases where you don't hit much ie. bluff and semibluff successfully and play pair of aces sans kicker and medium pairs for more profit than you suggest.

That said, you're not going to make much, and you're going to need some advanced poker skills in the cases where you make something other than the flush (draw), because everything exlse you can make except for trip x or the boat is problematic.

Some things missing from your analysis:
semi-bluffing the flush draw
combo draws
wheels and wheel draws
semi-bluffing with middle pair
pure bluffs (especially on the river)
blind stealing with Ax suited
image payback from playing more hands

Just food for thought - you're not too far off - Axs is not great, and isn't profitable under a great many preflop scenarios.
