Ace Rag?

Ace rag should be played according to position. Fold early of course...even A 10 os is rag early unless you have the chips to make a raise with it. In middle, I will make a call if the pot hasn't been raised. In late position with limpers, yeah, I'll raise it up. You are playing maybe a bit too tight. I hate Ace rag as well, but will play them once in a while especially when it's early in a tournament when you need to collect all the chips you can. Good luck

BTW: I hate QJ lol

no ur not folding the ace rag is a good decision
usually ull flop a-10-5 holding a-3

only to find the bb holding a9 maybe even a-10
i fold that hand before i fold 7-8 suited

gl anyways ..

railbirds for the win
Fellaman!

i play the same way lora...

i wonder myself if i'm too tight...i see lots of 'geniuses' win with A rag...but whenever i try it i get busted...

better A7 then QJ, QJ sucks! lol, Amber said what there is to be said!

Amber I consider you won of the top 10 best players on this site. Thank you for your advice. I just hate it the most because I cannot fold it post flop knowing darn well I'm calling off chips into a losing hand hoping I hit whatever other card I have to make aces up and by the time it is the river I have so much invested I cannot lay it down

Again ty

You may wish to look at these postings by Bluesboy47: How to Play A-X and Golden Rules of Naked Aces. If you find them helpful - and they should be - look at some of the other great blogs he has about playing better poker.

Poker. That's the name of the game, and still remains the focus of this site (err ... I think). Good luck; keep it fun - play well & profit.

You should play it definitely according to where you are and who you are up against. If you're in late position, and you have A7, then raise and try to win the pot right there. If you get called and the flop comes 2-5-6, then you can bet again and take the pot.

Still, raising UTG with A7 or A8 will cost you a LOT of money...

i hate A rag and QJ , but lets remember poker is a people game played with cards,so to say never play any two cards is wrong, there are no nevers in poker

I'm also an A,rag folder in 'most' cases. When a hand plays to showdown that I folded, it is too often a loser if I had played.

I do play them in late position on a limp-in call or maybe a min-raise call, but seldom higher than that. THAT's why they call it Ace, RAG, imo !!

I agree with Amber...and that blog by bluesboy that joroco mentioned is a good one
