I'm still a noob at this too. I don't want to dish out advice like I know what I'm talking about. But I will say that I think A2 isn't as playable as it seems. A2 has the potential to give you the low hand, but there are a lot of options for it to miss altogether. I would only play it depending on my other cards.

If the flop comes with nothing below and 8, you have no low hand. Paybe your A can play if you have a K or a Q to go with it for a high hand.

If the flop comes and there is an A or a 2 in there, you need to look toward one of your other cards for your low, because your A/2 is dead for the low hand.

Overall with low hands. You can ruin a low hand a million times easier than you can ruin a high hand.
