ok, I'm examining my play before moving up in limits.
I play Axs very aggressively, kinda like AA - including raising A6s from any position, and sometimes 3-betting down to A2s from the button.
This started as an experiment in aggression and c-betting more than anything else. Should it stop? stats look ok, but I'm pretty sure it contributes to a fairly swingy bankroll...
Thoughts? How do others play this?

Axs?

I never raise pf with em' (except maybe on the BU/CO when folded to and no recent action), and will only limp in good position with a few limpers before me, or on the SB. From my limited understanding, those hands have a lot of potential to take down big pots in a multi-way when the flush comes, or a lot of potential to make you go broke when you're out-kickered, or when your 2pr is out-2ndpaired.

Building a big pot early when you're likely out-kickered by anyone calling you on the flop when you bet your paired aces? Sounds scary.

Your numbers don't tell that story, though the sample isn't huge...



I need one of those sig disclaimers "warning: advice coming from donk"
