Re: Poker Essays III - Ace Eight Suited UTG
It seems to me the philosophical problem of A-8s is the cathegory it falls in. If someone claims, it is playable for value every time you are UTG like AKs, that would be just wrong (and this is basically what Mason's essay was all about).
If you treat it as a semi-bluff hand to randomize your game or to make an advertisement play, which means you play it only every once in a while, it should be ok.
The real question is: Which one is the better hand for this purpose, 6-5s or A-8s?
