Jamming suited aces
Why do we jam so much suited aces when microstacked, especially the small suited aces? They have much less raw equity than their big offsuit counterparts in the early 10BB- shoving ranges, it feels kinda counterintuitive.

Cause an Ace comes more than 20% on the board plus you're suited. It's an insurance for the scenario you get called

And I'll emphasize the "for if you get called," because another part of the reason is that having an ace takes one of the four aces someone else can have, which significantly cuts down on the number of hands that can call you.
The suited ace has pretty robust equity against calling ranges, with the ability to make top pair or a flush. Suited wheel aces tend to have the best equity of any hand that's dominated when called.
Other than AA (obviously), do you know which hands have the best equity against KK preflop? AKs and A5s.
