Tight Games and A-x

[BobJoeJim]

I recently moved to Absolute, and am now playing in much tighter games than I'm used to; often with table VPIPs under 20%. I'm wondering if in games like this offsuit aces become profitable to open-raise with from mid-late position? It seems like blind stealing works frequently enough, that when you also factor in the high card strength if you do get called then this could outweigh the standard negatives of playing these hands?

Is that the case? Or is A-x still trash, even in super tight games?
