How to play ATs by position

6-max cash game, around 100 big blinds deep.

Early position (UTG)

Open-raise in 6-max games. Be ready to fold to a 3-bet.

Middle position (hijack)

Open-raise. Against an open, calling in position or 3-betting are both possible.

Late position (cutoff, button)

Open-raise, and 3-bet against wide opens.

Blinds

Raise when folded to. Against late opens, 3-bet or call.

Facing a raise

Call or 3-bet against late opens; fold or call against tight early ones. Fold to 4-bets.

After the flop

• A nut flush draw with ace-ten can be played aggressively as a semi-bluff.
• Top pair with a ten kicker is vulnerable against tight ranges.
• The ten helps make broadway straights (T-J-Q-K-A).

ATs against common hands

Ace-ten suited wins 47.1% against 99, a near coin flip, and 62% against KQo. Against AJo it wins 27.9%, with ties 7.6% of the time, because shared aces often chop.
