Thanks for your strategy ... hopefully you won't mind a little counterpoint to your post.
Actually the chances of this are kinda remote. However a top pair weak kicker type of hand to the river is rarely good in a typical hand of Hold'em.
I guess we're talking tournament strategy then? I don't remember you posting whether this was a universal theory or just for cash/tournament play. Anyways, I disagree with this for either. A good player in late position will simply isolate-raise you, cbet the flop, and win your money. Fold your ace-rag from EP 100% of the time.
Again I respectfully disagree. Same reason above.
This means if you don’t get Aces up (two pair) or a flush (when you rag is same suit) then you’ll probably be out kicked by the other player.

1) Position – Only limp in on lower limit blinds if you’re in early position and if you’re raised too high then fold ... If you’re in early position and the blinds are high I always fold.

In late position such as the button or cutoff, you should be stealing with Ace-anything darn near everytime. Like 99% of the time in a cash game especially. Limp/Calling with Ax offsuit anytime ever is just a bad idea. There are some very remote exceptions.In late position call or raise depends on the number of previous callers and their betting habits. If there is one tight caller or raiser then just call, but if a few loose players call or raise, then raise.
Suit – If your Ace Ragz cards are suited then you have a few more options. If the blinds are low then you should most likely limp in early.
Again I respectfully disagree. Same reason above.
I think either way you're basically flush-mining and that's a terrible idea. The odds of flopping just a flush draw are 1 in 11 roughly. The odds of flopping a flush are less than 1%. How is this a good idea? With more people in the hand the less likely your Ax hand will be good for top pair even. Again, I respectfully disagree.If you’re raised by someone later on in the game, whether you stay in depends on the player that raised. Fold if he’s tight and call if he’s loose and raise if there are two or more loose ones calling. Either they’ll call you with krap or they’ll fold, either way you would tend to fair better against them because not only do you have an Ace you have the potential to pop a flush too.
