Can anyone explain how to play ace with weak kickers in cash games? I understand that if they are suited they can turn into a the "nut" flush/flush draw.

Other than that potential, any other comments>?

Thanks.

Depends on position, who you are playing agaunst, I would raise from late position With Ace Rag. But other than that Id fold fold fold. Only time i may call is if i was in late postion and had 3/4 limpers so i was getting huge odds to see a flop and even then they would have to be suited. Id rather play 56o than Ace rag.

A with 2,3,4,5 can also make a straight. A6-A9 are pretty cruddy hands. Suited adds very little to the EV.

Mostly I fold these, but will raise with them if folded to in late position. But I want anyone else to fold, please. Thanks. :D

I would fold all in early position. You can raise A 4 suited A 3 suited late position, steal the blinds, don't know depends on how your table is doing. For me agressive = fold

Playing aces below A-10 from middle position and earlier is a great way to be dominated and lose money. A10 is pretty questionable too.

Unless suited in mid/late position instant fold... unless you can steal against a weak BB but then you can do that with atc. If you're in a raised pot with a hand like ace 5 and an ace drops, don't get over excited - you'll either win small or lose big.

I fold unless I have huge pot odds, because flopping the ace might lead to big big problems later in the hand. I will raise if I'm in late position and it's folded to me. Sometimes I even fold AJ or AQ suited if I don't think it's the right situation.

With low blinds and a normal stack I'll try to see a cheap flop with the suited ace to five hoping for a flush or a low straight. When the blinds start getting pricey i'll wait for late position and limp. Offsuit ace to five
only in late position with a few limpers. The more opps in hand the higher the odds that someone else will have an ace with a higher kicker.
