Default Re: I\'m curious.

i admit, i'm an A ragger. i play almost exclusively in tournies though, so that may skew my opinion a bit.

looking at the pokerroom EV chart....every suited Ace down to A3s shows positive EV, and A2s is break even. in a tournament i open raise with any suited Ace in MP or LP. if i hit an ace i don't really fear being out kicked... it happens very rarely. if i hit my flush draw i semibluff it just like i made a top pair.

that strategy is part of my daily pusrsuit of LAG mastery.

EDIT: looking at the chart again... the suited Aces show more EV than any of the suited connectors lower than T9s. looks like your better off playing A5s(.08 +EV) than 98s(.00 EV) or 76s(.03 -EV).
