Losing with low suited aces

Losing with low suited aces

I've been losing money with the low suited aces in the micros. Sample size is 35,000 total hands. A2s A3s A4s are all in my top ten losing hands. Other suited low aces aren't far behind.

This must be from my practice of raising first in from early position with these hands (six handed).

So is the solution to limp with these hands or just fold them?

Do you 3-bet late position opens with them?

This is pretty vague. What are you doing with them? Are you getting a lot of money into the pot when you hit top pair no kicker? Are you bluffing them for huge sizes when you miss or something? I dont really think just opening them loses money, and of course if you hit you dont lose money either.


Pouring over some of the hands, no really strong pattern of error emerges. I have been 3-betting vs late steals. I've also been calling 3 bets with them after I raised. Some losses from bluffing draws that never hit.

In which configuration? A2s, A3s, A4s should go into the muck more often than not when facing a 3bet, at least in the high rake environment of microstakes.
