In the "loose games" chapter of HFAP the authors advise playing Axs, Kxs, and even Qxs type hands in an unraised pot (although the later two are restricted to the late positions). It is stated that correct play of such hands can mean that "you hit your hand and still throw it away," meaning you hit your top pair but depending on the situation have to give it up.
My problem is I'm exremely skeptical of a hand like Q5s because such hands are not even considered playable by the rankings of the same book. My question then is should Qxs be played every possible time in a good loose game from the button or possibly the CO? or should this be restricted or done only on occasion?
thoughts?
