Axs is sometimes worth a limp, and others worth a fold. It's never worth any raise, and even if you've limped, anything but a stupid meaningless minimum raise should send you packing without question. It's a good hand for limit, but a very bad one for no limit. Flushes just don't get paid off very much in no limit, because they are so obvious, which takes away their value. Flopping an ace sux, because you could lose a bundle to a better kicker, as you know. Really unless you flop two pair or trips, it's just a good way to get broke by putting your faith in small aces.

The morons on party will call very large raises preflop with nothing, so why wait till the flop when they won't call unless they have something? Raise with your AA - JJ, and raise BIG.
