A5o in the CO

[jacki]

OK to raise at a fairly tight/aggressive 2/4 table?

Why would you raise A5o?

Hey Jacki:

You can open raise with it as a blind steal....but it would depend on how tight the blinds play (and the button).

My default for 2/4 is A9, but it depends on the players. They would have to be very tight for me to lower it to A5.

This definitely isn't my default play, but it was my first orbit, and I had seen a MP or LP raise take the blinds 3 times, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
Lost to BB who had KQo, K on the flop.
