Most would call A8 offsuit "Ace-Rag" and A-10 "not". But how about A9 offsuit?
I see many people raise pre-flop with it at a full table from early & middle position and continue to overplay it. I've read some tips from TJ Cloutier, who says A9 is a raising hand from any position in an unraised pot. I just can't grasp that. A9 just seems so weak (unless very short-handed). Harrington even calls A-10 a "trap hand" and says not to overplay it. Any personal opinions (not from a book)?
