1 You are in the BB with A9 suited through A2 suited and a player before you bets. So now you must pay 1 more bet 2 see a flop. How many limpers do you need to call before it gets around to you to make it correct for you to call?
2 How do you play an oesd when there is a flush draw on board? Do you play just as strongly as you would if there was no flush draw for the other players, or do you slow down and play more passive?

1. you mean raise? I'd probably call 1 bet if there was at least 2 other people in the pot... hell, i'd probably do it heads up 
2. play strong until someone tells you to do otherwise

1. Axs is playable from anywhere IMO. If you know what you're doing postflop. I know plenty of 20/40 players who still don't know what they're doing with this hand though.
2. Cautiously.

Thats the sort of advice that is so general it can be true about anything. Give me the right table, and theoretically I can play 72o profitably from any position.

I'll call if there is at least 1 cold caller. If its HU, the pot isnt big enough and you are usually drawing to 3 outs so I'll let it go.
Blind defense situations though are completely different stories.

The first question is one of preference and table makeup. Do you mind being out of position with a weak ace. I think it is not that big of deal in limit. If an ace flops you'll definitely face a continuation bet. In that case, raise and see where you are. You'll probably be able to take the lead from TPTK and if you play it strongly enough you have the possibility (albeit a small one) to make the PFR lay the hand down. If the PFR makes it 3 then it comes down to your read. By that point you may have made the pot large enough to call 1 more small bet. In my experience if you call there the initial bettor has a tendency to slow down a bit and check the turn to you. If he puts you on a smaller ace then he will have to determine if you have made two pair. Your aggression may earn you a free turn card.
The second hand I would play very very carefully. In a passive game with a lot of limpers you are probably down to the 6 unsuited outs, assuming a flush card does not hit at all. You have to look at it this way, 1/4 of your straight cards makes someone a flush, and on top of that the flush draw has about and 1 in 3 chance to connect. Total all that up and your straight draw really does shrink. If your straight connects and you have the chance to 2 or 3 bet the turn and force the flush draws to call 2 or 3 bets cold then do so. Experience tells me that chasing these straight draws on flush boards can be very costly.
