dont call raises pf with dominated hands oop >.<

my two cents is: if you play Axs you should either a) call when a bunch of people limp in front of you or b) raise when it's folded to you or you got 1-2 limpers when you're in position. i don't think i'll flat Axs behind a pfr much as i won't enter flop with the betting initiative and i will most definitely toss it when oop.

you're hoping to take down the pot often with cbets and obv you're not looking to get rich off of Axx boards, since you might be heavily dominated if action comes your way. you're looking for 2p, set, fd, or better here.

point being, dont go broke with Ace-rag on an ace-high board and position is the most important aspect of value in playing Axs imo.

im a 6max player/noob so hopefully someone better will clarify things for you

nice to see lp.net working its magic for new players =D

Thanks for the advice. Just couldn't resist calling since it was a min raise and I was in the BB =P I've stopped doing that =)

I don't think it's too much to say that almost everything I have learnt about poker so far has been from LP.net. It's something I'm really grateful for.

If you're good the pf call with a2s is fine, because at those stakes people are so bad it's still profitable.

But, as you suspect, that will quickly become unprofitable. Probably as early as .10/.25.

if you see that villain minraises monsters pre and NEVER folds to aggression postflop but bets weak throughout (and a significant amount of bad players do this at NL2), i can definitely vouch for calling with good drawing hands like 87s and Axs, even oop. since the implied odds for you are HUGE. just play it passively until you hit big xD

i think that is like the most hilarious situation you will find in microstakes.

Funny thing is, I would never call a proper raise with Axs, ever, unless 8 other people in there with me. I find the hilarious thing the villains who try to DISGUISE their great PF hands with min raises and give every other hand out there decent pot odds and fantastic implied odds.

well according to this hand it is. implied odds on microstake retards is not to be underestimated
