at 6-max i dump suited aces UTG and the next position (A9 or less I raise AT. A9 I may raise if the table is good)

I raise them first in from the CO and button, but not always. It depends on the table, my image, the players behind me, etc. If I know the people behind me are tight I raise them more

I never 3-bet a suited Ace preflop that isn't AQ or AK bigger, just because I rarely find that to be a good idea.

I can honestly say my win rate doubled when I started dumping suited Aces and small aces. I try not to play them too much because players at 6-max love aces and it is so easy to find yourself dominated by a random two-pair

I much prefer a 78 suited hand to an a7 suited hand

At the 25s I assume that people suck a lot postflop, so I would limp with Axs hands in CO and OTB, and dump them elsewhere. First in it's always tempting to raise though.

I would also go to PT and replay the specific hands that lost you the most money and see how they went. Did you end up with a pair of aces you couldn't dump postflop when you were outkicked, or what?

I can't work out whether you're calling raises with Axs. If so, don't. 3betting with them isn't a good idea: if the conditions are right, do this with SC's instead.

25/14 is pretty much in the sweet spot for 6max IMO, but dumping them from EP is fine.

When I play a patient and relaxed game I win - that simple.

More important than knowing most everything is knowing when you don’t. I don’t know everything. Tell me when I’m wrong.

My standard line if first in is to make a standard raise


I limp em (at least below A8s unless HU in BB vs SB or my image is good and I'm in LP)
They are all small winners for me at $100 NL 6 max from all positions.

Why escalate a pot OOP with ace-junk? Folding is better than raising them OOP on most tables, if you are uncomfortable limping.
