id have to disagree with ya there man playing ace 7 in hopes of being flopped 2 pair is like playing k/7 and hope that k/7 hits on the flop..a-5 yeah possibilty of a str8 why not play it sometimes or make a raise with it to confuse the board, but most of the time i wont play it unless its suited (which isn't really that big of a plus)..but most of the time especialy a-7-9 are traps u will probably get kicked on a 10 player board...
