Hello fellow poker players,

I'm pretty new to the ocean, and i have smallish question. I've come around several places where i saw that you shouldn't play Ace lowcard sutied like A3h A6s A2c. And i would understand logic behind it on higher levels. Since probably investments into playing it wont be covered by rare winings. But question is - does it apply in microstakes, specificly - NL2 cash games. Since you:
* may flop nut flush (very rare) and anyone with 9 high flush will call you anytime.
* you may flop very good nutflush draw.
* You may flop Ace, and in abscence of any agression you may steal the pot.
* In case of flopping ace, and somewhat reasonable agression its easy hand to fold.

So the question is, at lowest stakes, is it viable to play these hands? (For now HEM statistics shows postive winings)

Probably not a good idea to include suited ace rags in your early/middle positions at the table. Mainly b/c they can probably get you in more trouble then it will earn you.

However, if Im in the CO/BTN Im def opening a suited ace rag up for a raise.

At any stake low suited aces are good for a preflop raise from later positions if no-one has raised yet, or call with in position when the implied odds are good.

Can 3bet them as a bluff vs the right villains, but I probably wouldn't recommend that at 2nl because people call 3bets too much.

I like low suited aces, they make powerful draws on good flops and are easy to fold if they only flop top pair.
