Quick Question..

[Leave_it_2_Beav]

Hola..Can any1 lead me to a thread..or give me some advice. I seem to have a leak in my game lately and it has to do with Ax's and Kx's. I have been playing these only from late position or the blinds, but have not been close to hitting these as of late. I am thinking about eliminating these hands from my game all together!! They have been costing me some cash, especially when two hits on the flop, then I don't hit the draw. Any comments?? Thanks as always.

Axs and Kxs are generally hands I only complete the small blind to play. You get outkicked a whole lot more than you make your flush. I got sick of losing to them too so I just dropped em. No regrets,

Numerous others also. Search for Axs and you will find them.

Axs I normally play if I am fairly sure I can see the flop for 1 bet and there will be 5 others along with me. Usually this means late position or very loose passive table. I will normally limp UTG with Axs if I think I can get in for only 1 bet and get enough limpers.

Kxs I normally only play in Button or blinds in the same loose passive games again with enough limpers.

That's not when they're supposed to cost you cash. When two of your suit comes up, it more or less plays itself. It's when you flop the A or the K out of position that it becomes a problem.
But a four flush is nearly always a +ev situation.
