When is it right to play AXs

[QueBob]

One of the hardest things I learned was dumping Axs in early and middle position without any callers. Same with small pocket pairs. Set's and nut flushes are sooo much fun, but make no mistake, it's a huge leak to play these in typical on-line games. The EV is negative unless there is absolutely no raising in family pots. You will pay 2 bets far too often to see a flop. ATs is my lowest range in early/mid and it comes in with a raise...that's the way Ed likes it too. Bang away with AKs, it will win in the long run.
