Would you change your mind?

Lets say your hole cards are A3os, normally most would fold this, but what if it was A3s? Would you change your mind and play an A with a low kicker that was suited.

Sorry but this thread is like, so pointless. What positions? What stakes? How many at a table? Stack sizes? First in? Limpers/raise in front? Reads?

[I Eat Gamblers]

it's a simple question, does that fact that the low kicker is suited to the A change your mind. Do you second guess playing cards you might normally fold, reguardless of position.

I think Annie Duke said it best when she said:

"When you get dealt two suited cards, ask yourself this question: 'Would I play these two cards if they were not suited?' If not, then it's clear what your action should be."

Granted, it depends on the factors mentioned by Irish, but in general, asking yourself the above will help to keep you from having some really tough decisions too often.

[I Eat Gamblers]

don't look into this question with too much depth, simply put do you fold a suited A just as easily as a non-suited A with the same low kicker.

If it must be a simple answer then no, I would not play the hand in either case...suited or not...under normal circumstances.

It's hard to answer such a simple question with such a broad spectrum of circumstances which define the end decision.

i would rather play a suited A-rag than a non suited A-rag, an I would rather play A-3s than A-7 suited.

[frob23]

So much of this has to do with the table conditions, position, previous action, and so on. It's nearly impossible to answer. In some situations, I would play a suited Ace-rag... in others, I wouldn't even consider it.

SUch a vague question, some situations u should raise with it some u should muck. If u dont understand that every situation is different at diff levels of tourney, diff amount of players, cash games, stakes, position, image, previoius few hands, etc etc etc, then im sorry, u will never get it and u should always fold that hand.lol


is a3 suited better than a3o? Is that your real question? Not gonna even answer that

[Jonathank]

yes i always move in with a3 suited in any position.
