Default Understanding A2

I am new to Omaha8 and don't quite understand how to play A2. I tried to look this up in search, so forgive me if this has been asked before.

In early position do you always limp with A2 even if the other cards in your hand are bad, ex.. A296r?

Do you play A2xx to a raise?

Do you raise with A2xx in late position?

I seem to get quartered quite a bit with A2 and am wondering if you need to have a shot at getting the high to play this from any position.

Thanks for the help.

Default Re: Understanding A2

At low limits you get loose player and passive players.
As you move up in limits, the play gets tighter, but more aggressive.
So A2 should be played considerably differently.
Limp from early, raise from late. Reraise any nut low where you have middle or top pair also. Usually that will be good for high heads up against another A2.
I would say to you, don't worry about playing A2, it's A3 and 23 you should worry about, these will be the hands that cost you in the long term.
