A9s Preflop Decision

[IsaacW]

Typical Foxwoods $2/4 game: too loose, very passive pre- and postflop.

My thinking here is that with a few bad limpers (any two suited, any two big cards, many offsuit connectors) there is value in raising here. Also, I could buy the button to improve my postflop position, though this is a secondary consideration because coldcalls are common in this game. I think I would make this raise with Axs where x &gt; 7.

Standard? Chip spewing?

Thanks for the confirm. I think my thought processes are starting to help me make more profitable decisions.
