How to play it. Raise from middle position, the cutoff and the button.

A7s pairs at least one of its cards on the flop 32.4% of the time and makes two pair or better 6.6% of the time.

Because both cards share a suit, it flops a flush or a four-card flush draw 11.8% of the time. Compare A7o at 58.6% heads-up.

When you pair your Ace, a weak kicker is the danger: an opponent with a better Ace will often win the big pots.
