    Default Need help with hand and how to play it

    25/50 blinds 100 sit and goes is where i play.

    8-9-10 players still at table

    you are dealt A/98765432 offsuit

    if i get to just put in the blind i will do so correct? what happens when someone raises it up to 125? or 90 or whatever?

    I lose more money on these hands than anything else. lately (depending on position) i just fold it when the blind is raised. Doesn't sound smart but i keep getting killed on this damn hand.

    Please help me

    8+ players left, fold Ax from most spots.

    I dont even thing A9 is worth the gamble from late position in a SnG unless you are short stacked.

    for beginners it best not just to play weak aces in any position unless theres less then 4 ppl at the table, but as you progress you'll see oportunities to use them, but if i see sum1 win a hand with weak aces i'm writing the shit down and making note they play them cuase my ak is going smoke there a6..

    Fold to the blind

    This may sound couterintuitive but the general newbie strategy is the cheaper it is to see the flop at a full table, the stronger your hand has to be to play.

    thanks for the help. I'll be back in another thread in a bit on how to deal with 10/10 9/9 8/8. Right now i'm folding those too unless there are like 3 people left. Problem is i see alot of people win with this crap and its drives me nuts on how people can play that stuff.

    anyways thanks again

    yeah TT and 99 are worth raising in most spots that you pitch Ax.
    Marm is back, maybe. Been off for 3 years. Rusty as Hell.

    they always seem to raise it to 90 on the second go round with blinds being 30/15 meaning they double the bb and sb or 125 on the 3rd go round when the blinds are 25 and 50 thus giving it bb/sb plus 50
