Axs has a lot of value even UTG. I think there was a big thread on this earlier. Anyone have a link?

In a six handed game I would limp with Axs.

The flop play here is horrible. I'm not sure I'd even lead out in this position, but the push is where my main problem is:

After his reraise you know you're behind. He either has a two pair, straight or a set - possibly an A with a higher kicker but I doubt it. This means he's calling your push with almost always except with only a pair of Aces. Therefore, you're better off taking a card and seeing if you hit one of your outs (flush).

Basically the value in reraise with a flush draw is if it can flod out some of their range, which your reraise can't.

Opening here depends on how likely you are to get repopped. In an agro game I consider folding unless I'm prepared to 3bet. In a passivish game opening with Axs is fine.

i need 42 % equity against him if i push and have no foldequity and his range is AQo, AQs , KJs , TT, ATs i have 35 %. so i dont like pushing vs a nit. i didnt thought abotu it in the hand so call flop and fold ui turn is a good play i think. improved is here only hitting the flush. right??

what about folding?

What's wrong with limping UTG with Axs in a 6 max game?

You shouldn't open limp any hand at all in a 6 max game.

Briman, open liming is absolutely atrocious.

pokerchap, folding PF isn't "definitely the best play..."
I think raising is best actually...
