ace, low kicker

3 questions:

1) How large of a kicker do you require to play an unsuited ace in lat position in an unraised pot?

2) what about from the small blind?

3) you have Axo in the big blind, and an ace flops, what do you do?

it also depends on how many are at your table. if the table is shorthanded, A5o for example, is more playable than it is at a full table.

1) 9

2) 6

3) Raise, depending on kicker, call or fold to any re-raise.

j keats, so you would fold AJo from late position? it seems to me that if you play that tight, you're only going to see the flop 1 time out of 20, and even then you're not going to flop anything 3/4 of the time. You'll win about a pot an hour, but your blinds will cost you more than you make from that pot. so, how do you make it work?

also, you say what you'd do with your A low kicker when an A flopped depended on player history. How would you play it if you just sat down at a table full of strangers?

Ive played A/2 early at times because I knew the table.

A) any A
B) repeat
C) Bet min., if reraise, call,Turn...check(depending on how so and so bet before) call or fold
