Re: Does playing AceX suited ever makes sense in limit cashgames?
What you apparently don't realize is that the main strength of Axs is simply making a pair of aces.
That along is not enough to make the hand playable (or we would regularly be playing A6o) but if you only played hand hand for it's 'big hand' potential it would definately be a loser.
Playing Kxs regularly is not adviced much here or in books. It's not becuase a king high flush is so much worse than an ace high flush. Both will win the pot the vast majority of the time. It's not because your king high flush ius going to run into ace high flushes. If you play a ton only this might happen once a month - but yes it sucks hard when it happens. It's because a pair of kings isn't as valuable as a pair of aces. When you flop kings way too often either an ace will be out there also or one will come on the turn or river.
