Massimo8 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Honestly the only hands that I have trouble w/ in a NL cash game ONLINE are A2o-A9o.For example I just played a hand on stars 5/10c, pretty moderate game, not too tight or loose.I was MP w/ A-5o called the blind and SB raises to .40. Folded around to me.Can i honestly call here??? Any ace in his range has me beat, plus im a dog to any pair and any marginal hand like K-Q or K-JMaybe it is an obvious fold, but it just really sucks to throw away that ace Link to post Share on other sites

Nashtak 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Weak and Mid Ax offsuit are bad, especially in cash games IMO. Link to post Share on other sites
rbakken2504 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 yes, what nashtak said...playing weak to mid aces have really no value in cash games,, on the button or cutoff i dont mind raising them if you're a capable player after the flop, but otherwise, they are solid losers Link to post Share on other sites
kreppsen 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 playing weak to mid aces have really no value in cash games,, on the button or cutoff i dont mind raising themI don't mind betting with almost any hand from the button; with the intention of stealing blinds of course.Agreed with the posts above, never play mid-aces from MP-UTG, and please don't limp in the pot. Any hand worth limping should be strong enough to bet as well. Link to post Share on other sites
mtdesmoines 3 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 What everyone else said. It's hard to make $ with lame aces unless you can open CO or button with them. Link to post Share on other sites
Luke00016 0 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I'm going to go ahead and agree with the above posters, with one small exception.If you're on a weak table and are confident that a raise from MP will buy you position and the blinds are known to defend and then c/f unless they hit big, these hands may be profitable here.Of course, ATC would be profitable in that situation, but Ax will give you the fallback of catching top pair and most likely being ahead.Otherwise, though, playing Ace-rag from MP is almost always a leak, so be happy to dump it and move on.

droberts 3 Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Maybe it is an obvious fold, but it just really sucks to throw away that acei just went over my 9 table session this morning and wanted to count how many times i folded Ax when it was folded to me or i was UTG... the latest position i stopped counting was CO.. if i ever get to CO or BTN i pretty much raise any ace.i folded 15 Ax hands with the largest being AJ off utg and several A10 suited and offsuit UTG and UTG+1. basically what i am getting at is u cant get married to an Ace. If u raise, (or even worse limp in) in EP or MP and someone calls in the CO or on the BTN u are OOP for the rest of the hand and u wouldnt even know how to proceed even if u hit ur Ace.
