You have a roughly 6.5% chance of catching your flush by the river. If the odds are right then yes.
Well, for one thing you can’t get 6.5% pot odds. There are only 9 other people in the ring so you can only hold a 10% share of the pot, at most. So playing Axs can’t be about pot odds. Playing Axs must be wholly about implied odds. Action often dries up when a flush hits so the implied odds aren’t that good. The best you can hope for is to be up against another flush that is willing to push it all the way. Your tables have to be pretty fishy to make Axs worth it and you have to remember what you saw a flop for. A split pair of As with this hand is not worth anything…You will lose more with it than you will win. So its two pair or better just to play past the flop.
