thanks for answering
I wasn't talking about chance of being called by Ax -- obviously having an Ace blocker will reduce the frequency of being called by Ax, that's its definition
I was saying if villains are calling with let's say 77+ AJo ATs then you are pretty badly crushed by that range with a low offsuit Ace, whereas T4s likely has both cards available for pair outs, so instead of being a dog 25%-30% vs the calling hand you would have more like 35 or even 40% equity.
Ideally you want them to fold preflop of course. I tend to push A2 due to its blocking more often than suited rags... but that is in situations I expect to be called very tightly, rather than vs a bit looser opponents who might call any pair or most Aces perhaps A8+.
