Playing Hold ‘Em with a Small Ace

by

This story gives excellent views on the ‘Perils of Ace Rag’. Sam O’Connor wrote the story and goes through different scenarios on playing Hold ‘Em with an Ace and another hold card that he describes as garbarge. Your ‘Dead Money’ blogger plays with a friend that plays every hand when either of his Hold cards is an Ace. Everybody that plays with him knows their big pocket pair is no good as soon as an Ace hits the board, but conversely if they have a Big Ace they know they will probably get a lot of his chips.

Sam talks about:

  • What if we Play the Garbage Ace?
  • When the hand is checked around
  • Position Play
  • Should we ever Play the Garbage Ace

Here is the link for the complete story:

  • Beware the Garbage Ace

    • you might see yourself in some of the cases he describes. I know I did.

    Sam had a quote in the story that is very true:

    The Ace-Junk Hand Is Intended Mostly for the Inexperienced Player So He can Lose His Stack to Us

    About Just Poker Talk

    There’s a lot to learn about poker, much more than the game itself. The last few years are a perfect example of poker’s growth into mainstream American culture - books, movies, video games, television, poker players as celebrities, etc. Along with poker strategy and theory, Just Poker Talk plans to chronicle these happenings because it says something about society, about the state of the world, and, more than anything, we want to know what it all means.
