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

I would never open limp with Ax-suited but would raise it once and while from late position and definitely play it after a few limpers in the loose/passive type LHE live games I play in.

If there aren't many raisers behind you can get into and win a big pot in the following scenarios.
1) You flop two pair with your A and win a big pot from the guy with AQ or AJ who calls you down.
2) You can hit a wheel with A - 2,3,4 or 5(that is why I prefer A3 suited to A7 suited)
3) You can make the nut flush.

It can be profitable if you will be in a large multiway pot and know how to get away from it if you just get an A on the flop with heavy to moderate action.
