Thx for all of your responses, I already thought should have called the flop and then attack at the turn.

About the preflop raising: I nearly always raise with Suited Aces in position, even against a limper. I understand your possible concerns, that small suited aces are easily dominated, because most players autocall AX, or even just call hands like AK / AQ / AJ preflop because they want to have a good flop first before attacking.

My main reason for raising: I think I know how to play a weak ace. I wont go broke against an AK opponent, if we both flop an ace. However, if someone limp-called AK preflop he could easily go broke against my A5s if I flop two pair...

What I dont like about raising suited aces: I fear that a raise drives out weak suited Kings / suited Queens in the SB/BB, who would have played other wise, made second best flush and pay me off nicely.

I dont know exactly which effect is stronger, thus if raising / not raising is better. I think that preflop play is very player / style dependent. My style certainly is to RAISE a lot [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
