Hello all!

I wonder how do you play weak Aces (A2 - A7) about midway through the tournament before the ITM bubble or in the money from middle position if everybody folded before you?

It depends a lot how deep everyone is playing and the chip dynamic to give an good answer of this, but you can use the thread https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/thread.php?threadid=314586&page=1 to improve your MTT game as well.

Cheers,

A2s to A5s you can raise, but like SDK1987 told is all about Dynamics, but A2/5 are better that A6/9

It doesn't always matter how well you play a hand. Sometimes there are just idiots at your table who go allin with for example A7off or something like it. So you also should read the table.

Sorry to hijack thread but is it a good idea to go AIP with A8 - in tournaments from early or MP and how many BB should we be down to before we play these hands, cheers Oog.

I would defiantly say this is going to be player dependant, you want to be looking at what types of players are left to act after you, stack sizes are players in push/fold mode and also see who's in the blinds?are they nits ect or do they defend light, but going back to what SDK said i would defo check out MTT Beginner Coaching: Discussion and feedback thread there is loads of valuable information there....
