Re: Playing small aces - the bane of NL Hold\'em.
A pretty common play of mine with A-rag in one of the blinds is to check if I manage to snag a second ace on the flop.
If anyone else bets in the hand then I'm pretty sure that I'm out-kicked (unless it's coming from the button) and I fold. I'd then raise the button, or lead any non scary turn if nobody bet on the flop and fold to a raise. It's a pretty good tactic to extract from middle pairs and prevent some players from stealing from you too often.
