Default Re: ATo preflop -- your move?

I fold ATo from EP, except when a table has gotten EXTREMELY timid (happens occasionally at PokerStars) and then I will raise in an attempt to steal the blinds.

In middle and late position, if there have been no raises in front of me I'll raise (though I have to admit I don't like raising with this hand from MP). If there have been any raises in front of me I fold this every time.

From the BB I will call a raise ONLY if I have a read on the person making the raise as a loose player or someone who loves to bluff a lot and no one cold calls the bluffer's raise after him. Otherwise I fold this any time from the blinds when someone has raised.

A9o is pretty much a fold every time. VERY rarely I might play this hand by leading with a raise if I'm on the button, there have been no callers so far and both the SB and BB seem to be very tight and timid players.

This may not be correct play, but it is how I play those hands.
