playing a9

[blackplanet]

This to me has got to be the most difficult hand to play i mean theres no good way to play it. Im still a little new to poker so when i play a pot i usually lead out or make a preflop reraise i can't do neither with this hand although it has some potential its not worth it so insta muck unless im in bb.

hi

yep I agree pretty much with what you've said

Ace 9 / Ace 8 / Ace 7 / Ace 6 / Ace 2

stick em in the muck - unless they're suited then if you can flat call the flop either on the button or late position without expecting a raise

Ace blank suited can be a good trapping hand - but bear in mind with A2, A6 - A9 you have no chance of flopping a straight - so that cuts some outs ... out too

I used to play these hands way too much (and probably still do at times) -

best to muck em and forget em

Keep in mind most pots should and are won on the flop. With that being said you cant really play A9, unless it is suited....

I Will Fold any hand Lower than A!0 even if they are suited its just not worth the crazyness and its insane. That is a bad hand to be raising preflop on in my opinion a limp in or a small call sure but other than that TRASH IT!!

Ace 9 is a tough hand, its best to just muck unless your in a blind and can see a cheap flop because chances are even if you hit an ace, your out kicked, a lot of amatuer players fall in love with an ace, even with ace rag, but you will go broke playing those hands to much
