AJ Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Looking for a bit of advice. Playing cash games, dealt a suited ace. I like to play these, look for a flush (or two cards towards one), or bail at the flop. In a unraised pot, not a issue. but how many BB of an raise should call of a rise with one ?? Is there a forumla, related to number of peopl in pot before me, say 1 BB per previous caller can be called. I'm happier calling a 4 x BB raise with 5 callers in the pot, than a 3 x BB against a single raiser. Thoughts please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Re: Suited Ace For me it depends on what your other card is. I will lay it down most of the time after a decent raise unless I am in good position or have a good kicker. The problem comes if you hit an A on the flop you have to be disciplined enough to lay it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Re: Suited Ace assume low kicker, say a 3 or 4. I have no problem about laying down my ace on the flop, with that kinda kicker, unless it's checked round to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
staffy Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Re: Suited Ace I would fold it 95% of the time. Unless I am playing against a very tight table and I am in position. But then I am tighter at the moment than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Re: Suited Ace I seldom play a suited ace just for the fact it is a suited ace ... I usually need some other reason to get involved.... to be honest, I'll seldom even limp with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gazza271 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Re: Suited Ace Agree with Staffy, 95% its a fold. Sometimes if the blinds are low then may have a look but would have to hit 2 cards of same suit on flop to keep interested and even then depends on other bets :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaded Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Re: Suited Ace I fold, normally. Which is REALLY weird actually, I don't mind playing 97o or 83o... I think it's because the A is hard to get away from if you hit it, but you're almost certainly outkicked, whereas 97o I can ditch happily unless I hit 2 pair, trips or the straight draw.

happyhornet Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Re: Suited Ace I would fold against a 3xBB raise unless I am on the button/cut-off and was looking at A7- A10. Even then i would not be putting money in on the flop unless the flush draw exists or I've hit two pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Re: Suited Ace I've went back through my poker tracker database and A& and lower are all losers due to me limping and looking for a flush, plus a few shockers where I've hit my Ace and been out kicked. Time to drop these hands I think, they're not paying for hte occasional time I hit flushes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
