How much should I be willing to call with? i know OOP probably instant fold but IP? PREFLOP

Buyin full. Fold or 3bet preflop. Usually fold. As played, flop is a fold.

A-x suited is a button hand. I might be a nit, but I think playing hands like this OOP is tough. Since flopping a flush is unlikely, you will probably be playing a guessing game post flop (because you are OOP).

As played, fold flop.

You should have a full stack also. No reason to play short.

Just my $0.02

Blackrain... Using the 3bet to trap someone who often limps or bets into the pot lightly? Is that how you would use the 3bet in this case IP?

fold or 3bet pre. Raise in LP if nobody raised, or you can call a raise. It's a good hand IP but OOP is trash at these limits. buy a full stack. good fold on the flop

I'm calling 3x stealing raises in the SB with suited Ax all day long. But it is a fit or git flop situation, and in this case its a git.

So either fold... Or 3bet ... shutdown if I get called on the flop? or assume he has something with AK or AQ? and bet out on the flop

I would 3bet IP with this hand versus someone who has a fairly wide range and is likely to fold either preflop or on the flop. Same thing goes for when I am OOP.

Alright thanks. I love when these hands get called and you hit big on the flop A66 and your opponents has AK
