I have noticed myself wanting to play A rag suited alot. I know Ive been told not to do this most of the time but it seems I get beat by these with my ak when they hit their smaller card or hit the flush. It seems to happen alot. Does this bother anyone else. Should I play them more. Or are the odds not favorable Let me know what you think on the subject. I know position and stuff matters and I wouldnt play it under the gun or early position but middle to late I really have the urge to play them

very well said sir,i like to call this the 3 GOLDEN RULES on how to try and become a successful poker player 

i play A rag all the time especially in rebuy games, seem to be lucky, and like ya said i beat out AK AQ and AJ most of the time....those rebuy games are crazy though...

problem really with ace rags are that you never know if your winning or not even if you hit your ace, pre flop you have to ask your self what are you really trying to hit and is it worht it i think it ets you into more trouble than enough myself, even if you hit and you are ahead you dont have the confidence to make mu money of it anyway but like anything if you  are willing to thro it awa when you don hit your staright with a4 fr example then i can be ok bt would nt mak habit ofit
