Ace Rag Early in tournament

[chronical]

A rag is bad any way. You have to hope that evem if you catch top pari it handle action postflop were dro hads ad weak PRF 2 cards easely.
Here is how you A (up to ATo) looks PRF agains only 2 players who open ~15% of hands.https://postimg.org/image/ohe2xa9td/
It's a major leak that you cant get away from post flop to easy.
You can somewaht play them if they are suited? but again if the situation is right

Early MTTs, I will tend to play alot of Axs hands but unsuited, I will fold most of them unless it folds to me in late position, then I will try to steal with them.

AK or AQ are the exceptions, I will usually raise with these when first in or raise limpers with these and I add AJ/AT to my middle position hands under the same conditions.

position is most important but early is the best time to play weak aces.
The poorer quality players (that dont understand how position effects starting hand range) are usually the most active in the beginning.
They are also the ones that make bad calls, chase draws, and pay out more.

The downside of getting in more pots (especially with easily dominated hands) is you increase your risk and need to have better ability to make a top pair laydown.
