It WAS an loose taple, but is it worth it to play that hand?
Aside from PF, how was my play?

i am routinely throwing Axs away from ep and mp, i must be playing too many KJ type hands to keep my vpip at 20... that second king kills you IMHO.

I think the river call is fine, you're going to split the pot often enough for it to be profitable.

Muck Ax for this very reason; you can't play this hand aggressively.

You should be able to 3 bet this flop, but your kicker makes you scared.

3 bet the turn

if capped call down. if not lead any favorable river.

No, it's not. In a loose .5/1 Party game A2s is an easy limp UTG, or anywhere else.

EDIT: And keep in mind this is coming from the guy that takes issue with Nate tha Great's "You play too tight" post!

It'd have to be a passive game before I limp.

Getting raised behind is too disasterous to make these hands profitable, maybe a limp from UTG on a passive table or UTG1, but otherwise, straight to the mucker.
