Default Re: Suited Aces in 6-max

How can A5s be better than A6s in shorthand?

Your straight possibility sucks, you will rarely have odds to chase your gutshot.

If you had 4-5 people seeing the flop then yeah A5s is marginally better, this is shorthand though and many pots are HU after the flop.

Suitedness and connectedness value increases when there are more players in the pot.

Many people overvalue these hands and use them to steal the blinds. Axs is great for steals but hands like 98s are trash.
