ATos - Never seem to get it quite right
 

I've taken on more of a raise or fold mentality with ATos. Is the raise preflop and the call (and calling the raise) ok here?

Table is LPP city. Peculiar C/R by UTG given hes > 40% VPIP w/ 0% PFR over the last 12 hands (extremely small sample I know)

Thx

Basically, don't play this preflop.

I only play it from late position if it's folded to me and I have a chance to steal or get it shorthanded.

Once you're used to not playing it, you can add it in in the right places.

1) Don't play this pre-flop (especially from middle position)
2) How many outs do you think you have in this hand to justify a call after the flop?

I would fold PreFlop and the Flop

As overcards, these aren't that great, imho.

AT is my biggest loser. I think it get overvalued too much. In the late MPs I like to riase either ATs or ATo if I am first in. With a caller I think ATs is playable for 1 bet only.

ITH recommends in MP to raise first in or call 1.
In LP it recommends raising ATs against 1 caller and raising AT first in, call otherwise.
In blinds, it recommends raise 1 caller.

Never play it if someone has raised
