thank you for your comments. I realize that the AT suited raise is wrong. Those clubs just looked so purty at the time.

I think the fact that it is "purty/suited" makes this a strong preflop holding and is worthy of a value raise. The Ace alone makes it strong HU against a limper.

Why do you think the raise is wrong? Work your argument for not raising and see if it holds up in your own mind.
