Default Re: lhe cashmoney - do we ever induce a bluff here?

yourface, with Axo OOP preflop, I would 3bet AKo close to 100%, AQo 95%+, AJo 90%+, ATo 75%+, A9o about 50%, A8o 25%-, A7o 10%-, A6o 5%-, A5o 5%-, A4o - A2o almost never.

Premium aces are SOOOOO much better than weak aces. For one, you are on the plus side of domination. This is especially important for Ax hands because it's not only when you both flop a pair of As and your kicker plays, but also those times when you both end up with and showdown A high unimproved. Second, with weak aces and initiative you are much more frequently betting when behind with only 3 outs. With a good kicker, you often have 6 outs and if broadway cards are on board, you sometimes have 10 outs.

When I talk about not 3betting Axo I am really thinking A7o and worse, though A8o and to a lesser extent A9o can also be included in that comment to a lesser degree.
