Default Re: Ax and Kx suited

Kxs is rarely playable at 3/6. If you're in the SB and there are already five players in (four + BB), complete the bet. Similarly, I'd call a raise in the BB if I would make the hand at least six-handed.

I never played A2s - A7s from EP at 3/6. Too many players limp with Ax. I generally didn't play A8s or A9s from EP, but if the table is particularly passive (or particularly loose and not terribly aggressive), go ahead and put in three bucks. A8s/A9s in EP hates putting in six dollars PF.

In MP, I usually called with Axs if I felt the pot would be at least four-handed (including my hand).

In the CO or on the button, Axs is almost always playable. Limp if there are limpers. Raise if you're the first (or sometimes second) one in. Call a raise only if the pot is multiway.

Don't raise with Axs in the CO/button if there are a few limpers. You're likely to get check-called all the way by an ace with a better kicker. But if your suited rag is an 8 or a 9, raising is at least as reasonable as calling.
