Re: Why do we steal with Axs?

Axs first in in late MP and LP constitutes a mandatory raise for me unless there are reasons not to.

Agreed. I have been taught the same thing. My question isn't "What are we doing?" My question is "Why are we doing it"?

well here's why i do it...
1) mix up play
2) it does take own the blinds now and then
3) it hits small trips and the pfr disguises the hand well
4) it is super easy to get away from
5) oh yeah... the flush draw too
now that being said if i happen to hit an Ace i'm not really happy, would you be? i have a weak-ass kicker and most likely am dominated big time. don't go broke with a weak Ace.
i'm sure there are other reasons to pop an Axs first in, but those are some of mine.
