Suited Ace - Starting Requiements
One hand I always seem to have touble deciding on is a suited ace. What are your standard calling requirements for playing a suited ace (A2 - A9)? I usually don't raise these hands but when faced with a raise, I sometimes don't know if a call is an optimal decision.
I usually play 2/5 (100 - 200bb deep) where the standard raise can be $30 - $45. If I am 200 bb deep, and the other player has me covered, I will usually call, especially if there are other callers in front of me. If it is heads up and if out of position against a player that is say 100bb deep, is this typically a bad call? A friend mentioned a standard 20x rule where you can call the initial raise if the other has 20 x the initial bet and you have them covered.
It is very rare that you will flop a flush and if you do flop a flush draw, it is usually quite obvious and normally won't get paid off unless someone else is also on the same flush draw.

OK. OK. Up to 5% of effective stack might be OK. It depends.

Yes, but this is not a comparison qustion of which suited cards are better to play. It is specifically addressing A2 -A9 and pre-flop requirements.

Sorry, thought I was clear. A6-9 I fold in most situations, a2-5 I dont.
