Poker A + what is your fold cards?

Obviously there are other things to consider like position, other players, etc. but what is your lowest A? cards that you tend to fold most often? AT+ I almost always play, but A9 or lower I frequently fold, A6 and under almost always fold, suited or not. Just curious about others who play with A?

Could you begin to explain for a beginner what even the A is for? xD

 

It's a very relative issue, it all depends on position, who you're playing against and what stage of the tournament you're in.

 

Speaking for the live low stakes no-limit games...

Unsuited Ace rag is how donks go broke.

Obviously table dynamics , position, etc matter but in general, you are best served by folding all unsuited Ace Rag combos A2 thru A9 and only playing A rag suited when you have 30:1 or better implied odds.

When you have position, HJ, CO, or BTN you can profitably raise Ax if you have a decent image and good read on the table and the table dynamics. Otherwise, you should play it safe and just raise AT+.

The key to winning poker is patience, you over play Ace rag and you get to pay off other players that call you down with a better ace rag and then you can mumble to yourself as you reload because said donk didn't respect your raises...

 

When it comes to folding cards with an Ace, my strategy involves various factors like position and opponents. I tend to fold A9 and lower quite often, while AT is a common play for me. Cards A6 and under are usually folds, regardless of being suited. I'm curious how fellow players approach hands with an Ace in different situations.
