The game has no bring in, no ante. Regular 5/5 blinds with a straddle or mississipi sometimes. It's a very loose game.

We choose our doorcard on 3rd and discard 2.

Max bet/raise on 3rd is 30 or pot (if pot is less than 30)
60 on 4th
90 on 5th
120 on 6th
150 on 7th

1- would yo raise or limp (or fold) As2s344 utg 8 handed?
2- would you keep A23 or A24?
3- what door card would you choose?

Everyone choose his door card on his turn to act so I can't see any door cards.

i'd take a24 and limp the 4 i think. so if you go s s s your flush isn't as apparent.

This is a premium starting hand, I would keep A24 and I like raising the Ace to punish worse low hands.

I keep A24 and roll the ace because it is ambiguous as to direction. I bet as much as I can. Even if I miss low on 4th, if a spade comes it might scare enough people to let me take control of the betting. (Dunno if this thinking is valid in your game.)

I raised A24 but showed the 4, I don't know which is better when first to act. I think both options are fine.

I don't know if I should play AAs2s in that very loose game, I fold 8 handed most of the time if the pot is gonna be multiway which basically happens every time.

I suggest picking the 2. Although it makes a less scary board, when you do make a straight it is easier to get paid off than if you started with a 4 up, since 4s make more straights than 2s. If you pick the Ace then you will be first to act, most likely, and that's not good unless you are sure you can be heads up and can bet the other guy off.

But if you had AxA would you really show the Ace?

Whether to pick the 2 or the 4 probably does also depend on how many players to 4th street. With less players there's more value in bluffing so it makes sense to rep stronger by starting stronger showing upcards.

I would but the 4 up to hide the 2-flush and the ace.
