Playing A-X

#1 29th October 2005, 2:57 AM

Hey guys,

Just wondering. I play in a lot of 1 table sit-n-go's. With 6 or 10 people to start. What strategy do you guys use to figure on when to start playing hands like A-X or K-X suited or other face suited cards? I'm wondering mostly on A-X as far as with how many people left do you start bringing this in for a raise all the time?

A brief study in AA, AX, as starting values

As for Sit-n-go's, I'll limp in with A-rags suited middle or late position when the field is wide (10-7 players) just for the for the flush-draw or lucky 2 pair flop. Ideally I'll want a lot of limpers.
I wont play it to hit the ace before the bubble, when there's a good chance it'll be good if i connect. Heads-up I definitely raise the pot with any ace.
I don't like to play Kxs (and below) at all - at least before heads-up. That's just asking for trouble IMO.

For me playing ace-rag is just a dangerous thing to do. If I'm in the blinds and it's cheap I may limp in but I generally fold this one. The problem is if you do catch an ace on the flop there's a real good chance your outkicked. If it's suited, I'll limp for ther nut flush but I drop it quick if it doesn't hit. I've lost much more than I've won with ace-rag so chalk it up to experience...
