Re: Playing Ax suited for flush value ???
 

One thing to mention: I usually play poker with abnormally bad players. These players play any two cards suited and will try to draw to any flush when possible. In a game like this, Ax has shown to be very profitable when someone else also makes their lower flush. They'll end up going busto to me. 'I've got a flush' they think and they'll bet it all. This has happened more times than I can count.

Great point, the real key is to adjust your strategy to the play of your opponents. In a very loose passive game Axs has a lot of value in limping and trying to make a hand. In a tight aggressive game it will be too costly.

Re: Playing Ax suited for flush value ???
 

In my opinion anytime you play pkt dueces through pkt 7s you're playing them for set or straight value, because very rarely are all 3 flop card going to be lower than your hole pair and if they are you're looking at a straight possiblility, but so might your opponent or they might be four flushed. You might also get some donk hanging around that cant read board texture with 2 overs. The danger in playing Ax suited for flush value is catching an A and not getting out.
