I see people suggest playing A2-A5s in more positions than A6-A9s and I just don't get it.
How many times are you really going to make a straight with A5? Even when you miraculously do it is never going to be the nut straight.
You are never going to flop top 2 pair on a board with no straight with the smaller Ax hands. So just like with the straight we will never be too comfortable with 2 pair.
So what's the value in A6-A9s? Well its exactly the fact that everyone seems to play the small Axs hands so several times we will get value with top pair. 2 pair hands are also going to be potentially more powerful.
So basically it comes down to better kicker vs bottom straight possibility and as far as I am concerned the former is going to matter so much more.
