Played bad ?

Besides being loose on the original call preflop I think you played it well.

The reason you should not play A9s UTG,+1 or +2 is you really do not want to be raised with a dominated hand like that.

IF you want to play A9s at least raise in. If you question raising in qith A9s then . . . .should you be even playing it?

A9s is an easy limp at most tables.

Why, I am a bit confused! What are you trying to hit, If an Ace hits, then your kicker is in doubt, if the 9 hits (usually) there are overcards out there, so again you have problems. Only safe cards for you is to flop your flush or 4 to the flush. Are we saying that at this level, we will get paid off, if the flush is out there?

I would have been tempted to fold this PF, in early position,I think that overall the limp is marginal, and at worst a long term loser. Reads dependant of course...

If its not raised behind you then your pair of aces could be the best hand. As for your kicker, The only thing you have to worry about is AJ and A10, so if a tight player limps behind you and then wakes up when the A hits, you should play cautiously.

protect your hand just like any other time overcards could come to your top pair.

Depending on the action, a pair and a BDFD can be well worth playing after the flop. But yes the flush would be the main thing you're after.

90% of the time yes.

The question is not whether we are dominated or not. The question is how often we are dominated and what the domination costs us in comparison what we get when we hit the board.
