Bets, you would never want this checked through and may get lucky with CO raising.

Unless you have a passive / loose read on the table, I don't htink calling with A9s UTG is worthwhile.

I do it all the time. And if it is folded to me with A9s in MP or later I raise. I also use A9s as an isolation hand if there is one loose limper ahead of me.

KO

P.S. It is true on a very tight/aggro table I wouldn't... but 80% of the tables I play on are pretty loose, and fairly passive. And this hand was from .25/.50, so the percentage is probably higher.

Bet, CO just raised i doubt he'll fold to a possible flush [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Make him pay if he raises (Muhahahahah).

dont call A9s UTG unless you've got a good table read! And even then, Someone might raise [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

KO - Yeh nice hand to isolate with or blind steal, but calling UTG IMO isnt to great.

Wow. I play Axs where x &gt; 7 from just about every position, except against a raise in front. Any table too tight to play it, even if it's raised to my left, is too tight to play, IMO.

You did notice that there was a poster, right? I poster in EP, no less? Folding this preflop is a pretty big mistake, methinks.

[POKhER]

What stakes do you do this at?

I think A(7+) can get many people in messy situations(Specially when they hit an ace), Or if its raised ahead of them and an ace flops.

Depends on post flop skills i suppose.

I don't know what a "gree" is, but if it's suited with an ace I'll play it.
