Default playing weak aces pf

how do you think you should play weak aces suited and weak aces unsuited pf in texas holdem. And is there a difference between limit and NL. I've heard many different opinions on this.Such as to never play weak aces at a full table as apposed to always raise weak aces suited pf in late position. Whats the best move here?

It's hitting the pair that gets you in trouble. It's either an A with weak kicker or a small pair vulnerable to overcards.

It's two pair, favourable oesd, or flush draw for me or lay it down.

And I'll only play them when the blinds are small relative to the stacks or as a steal with something to back it up if called.

Theres a big difference between limit and no-limit based on my little experience ! N0-limit you can bet up to your stack on certain hands whereas
it is very difficult to do at times on limit, Its all in the name !

Too obsolute there, and way too ambiguous.

The unsuited aces, which should be folded almost every time except for LP raising spots. I try to almost never limp with AXo, but I will raise it into the blinds or a single limper depending on the table. But that move is VERY player specific, meaning if I know they can fold I'll try it.

In certain games you can play suited aces from EP, limping of course, but only if you know there will be 4-6 other players coming along. On some tables, Axs even stands to be the best hand sometimes. The advantage of Axs is that you can either win a big pot, or get out early. You are mainly looking to flop 2 pair, trips with your kicker, or a flush draw. Since these are relatively specific flops, most of the time you will be ptiching your hand on the flop. When you do hit one of these flops, you can usually bet/raise for value in the LLHE games since your pot equity is there. Probably the best flop you could hope for is Top pair, Top kicker with the nut flush draw.

The only real trouble arises when you flop an ace. From EP, you are pretty much screwed and must check. Now you sorta have postion on these folks. IF it gets checked around to LP and they are a very LA player, then you can Check Raise with the idea that he wiould be betting middle pair or worse, and you can shut out any stronger, but still weak aces, behind you. But if it gets bet by anybody being a semi reasonable player, then you gotta fold.

LP, if an ace had flopped, in LPG's, a lot of times it will get checked around, meaning you can be fairly sure that your ace is probably good, allowing you to bet. Of course any calls or CR's you gotta proceed with caution. In the LLHE games, Betting a weak Ace from LP is usually +EV.

Thats pretty dumb, just because someone limped means you know they will fold? So if the same person limps and your have 29 off you will raise because you KNOW they will fold?

come on
