wilkinru 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 While A9 has a place in my game, all of the lower hands do not. Early on I figured that it is just best to avoid situations where you are dominated by a better kicker.Now that i've played for about a year (online, sit and go $5-$10) im starting to think I should play more ace hands in my game, what do you guys think? Does A6 have any room in your game? I rarely even call em 5 handed...I do understand thier value heads up and even 3 way.As I type this, I just got A7o in the bb and hit an ace on the flop and then one on the turn and busted someone....For the record, I'm ITM around 60% of the time in $5 sng's and have made around $800 this last year, so my play works, but i'm looking into tweaking it (might help when moving up $ also).

I rarely even call em 5 handedstop reading there5 handed A6 needs to be played, its certainly not a hand you need to call raises with, but Itll be good to raise with this if no one has yet. Even if you miss the flop you can go ahead and fire out and a lot of the time you can pick up the pot Link to post Share on other sites
Mattnxtc 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 ill raise a6 every once in a while if its folded to me on the button or folded to me in the sb... in a 6max game...actually ill raise most hands if its folded to me on the button 6max...Im under the motto that its better to raise than call with most hands when its 3 handed or less...maybe thats to aggressive but eh...

wilkinru 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 do you steal blinds?Sometimes...I try to pick my spots. I try to make it a semi-steal blinds, dont just ballz it with 52o. really depends on who's in front of me. Trying to steal from a calling station/big stack isnt wise Link to post Share on other sites
