Offsuit aces in middle position

Maverick only plays offsuit Aces with a broadway kicker in MP, raising when facing one bet, but only playing for two or more bets with AK or AQ. The key with these hands, if they don't hit the unlikely Broadway straight, trips or two pair, is to flop top pair with either top kicker or a strong kicker.

All four hands deemed playable turned a profit. No hands below A10o were tested given early position trials showed significant dropoffs and subsequent losses for hands A9o and below. 10's tend to show as the profitability cutoff point in these trials.
