Default Re: Do I cap this suited ace preflop?

The initial pre-flop raise here is bad, IMO. You've already got 4 callers in front of you, so your pre-flop equity is extremely marginal, esp. with people potentially limping in with bigger aces.

Depends on your opponents. In SSH, Ed Miller says you can consider raising after limpers with A9s and A8s if you opponents are loose. If they are tight and aggressive, then limp. The OP didn't give any reads on his opponents.

I remember Miller saying this, but why? Also, it was a very loose table. Each limper >= 45% flops.

I'd say it was because A8s is a speculative hand and with a loose table you won't lose too many of the limpers with a raise in late position. You will still have what you want with a speculative hand, a lot of people in the pot. But I've only been playing since April or so, so what do I know. :-)
