I just started splashing around in NL, and have come across a semi-regular play at the low limits which I think is both profitable and exploitable and was looking for some more seasoned opinions.

Often times, players go all-in pre flop if there have been lots of limpers with any AAxx.

I have made the play a few times with AAxx with the xx being low cards and at least one suited (AA45, AA36 suited).



What hands is it profitable to move all-in with (if any? ..are you losing value by pushing people off their hands when you are so strong?)

What hands will you call an all-in with preflop (assuming all-in is going to stack you as well)

I don't call allins pre at low limits bc people usually have AAxL. I sometimes go all in with AA pre if I have a good low card and i dont feel like thinking though.

There are no big favorites, try to avoid racing preflop.

Since a lot of players have that mentality, pushing sould be profitable with aces, the question is, is it more profitable than putting in a standard raise or just calling?

Beyond ludicrous in O8.

As Ad 2s 3d vs. Th Jh Qc Kd is 70/30

As Ad vs. 5c 6c in NLHE is 75/25

Stop being silly.

good luck.

I think I'll be satisfied continuing to take 6 or 7 BBs everytime I push.
