why raise? what is it that you want to accomplish? do you want to win the blinds? yes? are you sure? oh, you're not sure that you want to win the blinds. you have excellent position with what has a reasonable chance of being the best hand. you feel that your hand and position is worth more than just 1 1/2 bet. well, if you raise, you will win the blinds. some people would like that.

I am persuaded to believe that the ev of playing ATo is considerably lower than 1.25BB. If this is true, as Sklansky writes, "winning the blinds is a coup". Therefore, I raise. What leads you to believe this hand is worth more? In your opinion, how big does one's ace have to be to change this scenario to a raise?
