Everyone seems to like raising the A9s OOP. Is this really a profitable raise? I guess it depends a bit on whether these limpers would be limping with better Aces and/or worse aces. Now if I were on the button in the same spot, I would raise in a second because playing a big draw is much easier late but from the blinds you may really get charged for your draw. I suppose the same players who might limp with hands better then A9 would also not be too aggressive later in the hand and that does add some value to my draw because it decreases the reverse implied odds.
