[QUOTE="Bill_Hollorian, post: 377691, member: 5756"]
I am now revising Ax suited and will advocate playing all of them, in limit games 4-8 and lower, 1-2 baby no limit, and 2-5 baby no limit. 5-10 and higher no limit, my original statements apply.

The logic behind this shift in strategy is that A7, A8, etc. SHOULD usually not be able to get paid off sufficiently when you make a flush. In the smaller games they do get paid off, due to the nature of the players in the game.
Flushes are still too obvious in the bigger games, so you need stronger starting values, additional straight outs,etc.

Strategy for the AX suited in the smaller games. If heads up opponent needs at least 50 Big Blinds, and you need to feel reasonably sure he will stack off if you hit. 
Go ahead and start building a pot, so a commitment to the pot is perceived by your opponent when you finally improve to the nut flush. Also, giving you steal possibilites at every street.

This revision although it shouldnt be, is now profitable in the games above. 
A6-A9 is still negative long term in bigger games, unless you have information other than math to go on, (identify particularly weak players, etc.)
