Default Re: Ace on the board in low-limit games

Here's my take on this. Many of the .50/1 players will play any ace in any position. Therefore, if I am against 3 or more opponents and an overcard falls to my hand, I give it more weight in deciding how to continue if it's an ace. I'm also more careful in playing Top Pair Mediocre Kicker if my TP is an ace.

So I don't think you are necessarily wrong, but I would be very leery of blanket statements like "someone always has an ace." Especially when you are 3-handed, that could give you a serious case of MUBS, and cost you a lot of $. Keep in mind, too, that every ace on the board or in your hand is one ace your opponents DON'T have.

Basically, it's just one more factor among many in determining the best play. (Or in my case, since my poker game sucks, the least sucky play. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img])
