I agree with almost everything mentioned right above, except that you should only raise with Axs pre-flop if you have (or know you will have) 6 or more callers. Your odds of getting a flop containing two or more of your suit is 5.8:1, in other words it'll happen about about 14.7% of the time. Thus you want the money you're putting into the pot to make up less than 14.7% of it (of course I'm speaking pre-flop). I believe this is an example of "betting/raising for value", right?
