Do you play A5offsuit

miktux · Feb 27, 2019

Do you play A5offsuit in middle or utg possitions? I have hard time with this cards, even if i hit ace i still feel uncomfortable?
What about you?

david1bear · Feb 27, 2019

I do only when there are no big raises going on:0) but most of the time I do fold A5 for that reason the 5 is just to low to be comfortable. Good luck out there

FrothyGoodness · Feb 27, 2019

If I'm at a full table , I will fold unless im the button. If we are down to 6 or less then I will venture out and play it here and there for the right price. 4 players Im playing it everytime

In my personal case ... I do not play A5off in UTG or in middle positions ... in fact I just play it on the button ... or in the small blind with the intention of stealing the blinds, and I always do it and when opponents have an 80% fold to the Steal BB

According to most pre-flop charts for full ring tables, you should open with, when folded to:
From UTG, UTG+1, UTG+2 you can open bet with AQo+ , ATs+ and A5s
From the Lojack, Hijack, CO you should open with all Axs and only AJo+
From the BU and SB any Ax hand

I change this only if I am familiar with opponents, if there are some players sitting out etc.

Only at the Button or when i'm at the BB against limpers. Honestly you can only be super aggressive if you hit double pairs (if you hit Aces your kicker can cost you a lot). But in late stages is considerable hand to steal blinds and antes when you get position.

Santiman · Feb 27, 2019

agreed, usually only from the btn.. sometimes the cut off if its a passive table

B1731898 · Feb 27, 2019

It's very rare, depending on all scenarios. ( Blinds, stack size, players, how deep in tourney, etc..Must be suited).

ClickPoker · Feb 27, 2019

It really is a bad desicion, but if the well is favorable you can bet

Flight777sem · Feb 27, 2019

Depends on the tournament schedule, your position and table dynamic. There is not one standard decision for all the times, sometimes you can even play any cards with the icm pressure.

A5

Even though position is important for this kind of cards I think it is more significant the stage of the tournament, in early stages in the positions you mentioned I would be really careful when playing with those cards but after the mid stage I get more confident with them since I can afford calling a raise and by hitting a 2 pair I can double my stack when playing against a strong hand like AK AQ AJ that only hit the A.

Since you are asking this question I would recommend not to play it at all. It's god to stay out of trouble with this hand. They are 4 or 5 people to act after you. Fold it and wait for a better hand.

WiredKs · Mar 1, 2019

There are situations where I may add A5o to my range; but at a standard game, against standard players, A5o in EP goes in the muck.

WhiskeyFix · Mar 1, 2019

Even from middle position, this hand is almost always a muck. Unless I see someone’s tilting to my left or playing very tight, it’s a gutter hand. Not worth wasting blinds limping on a generally weak marginal hand.

liuouhgkres · Mar 2, 2019

I open all aces from CO, from MP I start opening from A9o. Suited Aces I open from every position.

Izfensina · Mar 2, 2019

For me A5,A4,A3 and A2 are playable hands suited or off suit I don't play A6 A7 A8 and A9 off and Can play them suited. If you start folding these hands early levels you miss a lot of pots especially the dry one were hands like that get better potential against Tight players. It all depends on the board texture and opponents ranges. Don't get too much in the nit side early stages and when blinds are too low to impact your stack.

Luvepoker · Mar 4, 2019

I will fold A5o every time UTG and in early position since this is such a junk hand. I late position I can raise it up if i think there is a decent chance of winning the blind or just going against 1 player "the BB" and expecting them to fold on the flop. The problem with this hand is multiplied when played from early position and i multi way pots. If you flop a 5 you most likely have 3rd pair and how happy are you and if you glop the ace and people start calling you your kicker is really not wort much.

vox1er · Mar 4, 2019

I play only A10+ because you will often be dominated , but i play every suited Ax.

maezma · Mar 4, 2019

It is not recommended. They are cards that put you in trouble. If you hit an ace, for example, Kiker doubts because it is low.

Regards.

tauri103 · Mar 4, 2019

A5 is a good hand but I always take the least risk when I decide to play it because I am in position.meme when I touch an AS on the flop.La plupard temp I prefer cheke this hand that can easily make me lose some of my chips.

zekubiki · Mar 5, 2019

only in last positions and blinds, and if there are no more raises early

Cajin007 · Mar 5, 2019

Depends on the situation. There may come a time and place when playing A5o OOP is correct. It's common that if effective stack is over 9BB, A5o is relatively weak holding early/middle position.
Under 9BB, the hand enters the shove range and become more playable.

BobbyMorton · Mar 5, 2019

Risky playing it when so many players to play at the back of you and could put you in an awkward position with a raise from them.

I do not play ace middle cards in utg or middle position because most of the time it will get trampled by a better kicker.

makisaa · Mar 6, 2019

It is a pair that sometimes makes you think of a straight A-5 or a flush ace high! Both of them have appeared to me. I try this pair sometimes, yes it is interesting!
