Re: Playing Ax suited for flush value ???
[ QUOTE ]
I know that small pairs and even pairs as large as JJ can be played for set value. My Question is can Ax suited be played for flush value? Would this be at all optimal?
Is it possible to make money in the long run limping with Ax suited or even calling with a small raise with the intention of folding if I don’t flop a draw or two pair? I would like to exclude AK-A10. Any insight would be much appreciated

My feeling is it should be a bluff with outs hand. Raising in position and C betting against 1 or 2 players will ususally take down the pot anyway. In the rare cases you flop a draw you can play the hand very aggressively and either have fold equity or play a monster pot with lots of outs. I agree that with most pairs and Axs you rarely get paid off for the risk you take, usually only when you are the aggressor with those type of hands can you make big pot when you hit.
