Its not a very strong hand, but if your stack is under ten big blinds and you are on the button or in the small blind, push it ! If you have more people behind you, then a push with (for instance) 89s is better than a shove with Ax, because you get likely called by a stronger ace...

If I am in position with no other callers is usually the only way I will play a weak ace, or if there are only 2-5 players at my table..
I have to strongly agree with this one here... A-2, A-7, A-10 are some of my favs.

i see so many ppl play it like a strong hand. I never thought it was very strong but i do tend to call raises pre flop with these suited A3-9 and only get maybe 10% of them winning
With a full table and out of position this is usually an easy choice to fold, but if you are in the sb or button yes I would play if the situation is right. The only other time I play it is when I get a certain hunch that it will win and I have learned personally if I do not listen to this poker hunch I find out on the flop I should have played it. These hunches come rarely and sometimes I fold anyway. I will sometimes play anything if the feeling is right enough and I know many of you will very much disagree with this but there are a few great poker players who do the same thing.
Poker is a complex game and many situations and factors need to be taken into consideration but as a general rule I say fold it especially early in a tourney when you see multiple all ins.
i'd much rather get it in with any suited connectors 67s up than a rag ace up to A7I don't think this is right
