Re: The Value of Suited Aces in NL Hold \'Em
I try to limp with all suited aces from any position, if the game is not one where I know there's going to be a pre-flop raise. If I suspect a raise behind me, I might lead in with the minimum raise, just to keep someone else from raising me later, probably for more. If I'm in LP with no raises before me, I might raise this type of hand, as the chances are that my ace might be the only on out. A raise could also very well cause another Ax, with the x being better than my lame kicker, to fold. I do know that it seems that I flop 2 of the suit I need towards the flush, and then get sucked into calling all the way to the river only to lose a few more bets chasing. Finally, oftentimes if 3 cards to the flush are on the board, the other players won't build the pot very large, meaning the payoff isn't worth the losses from all the times it misses.
Honestly, I hope someone who knows what they are doing responds to this post so I can find out how to correctly play this.
By the way, I suck, so don't listen to me.
