Ax-suited a loser in loose limit games?

[Noo Yawk]

The value of loose limit games is in the size of the pot compared to the size of the bet, along with bad players that are willing to pay you off, but never charge you when they hit. Ax-suited is a perfect example of a hand that can take down big pots when you catch, and can be easy to get away from early. It also makes the type of hands that can hold up to a field of players.

Your analysis assumes that your Ace is beaten by a better kicker too often, and not considering that people will pay off enough with middle or bottom pair, as is very commom in the games you describe. It also assumes a smaller pot than a normal loose game.

You should rethink this and reread small stakes hold em.

Every one is forgetting position, a-x plays very well when you act last, if you play ah- 7h and the flop is qs - 10h -7c no one bets and you act last you can take it right there with a small feeler bet. I would never play it early but late I really like it. But that is me
