Re: How often should you muck A2 pre flop?
In today's game, I think this would be a mistake. There are just so many limpers, so much dead money. Yes, sometimes I lose a little money on A2, but it more than makes up for it those times that I am not quartered or 1/6th, those times when they chased A3 or 23 all the way and I get 50% or more.
FWIW, I've never had to call four bets cold (or more) pre-flop with a bare A2 in limit. I've laid down a bare A2 in PLO8.
I've also laid down a bare A2 post-flop in O8, even when it is the nut low. Yes, there were either two or three other opponents with a bare A2, and the pot was small.
This would be a good question for Ray Zee. When he talked about rarely laying down a bare A2 pre-flop, the games were much tighter. In today's game of 80% seeing the flop, I think he would say it's a crime.
