What are your reasons to raising preflop with A2s+ or ATo?
Are you raising to drive out opponents since A2s is 40% chance of winning against two random hands. if you drive out one opponent your about a 60% chance of winning against one random hand. If both opponents fold you win the blinds.
Also when you raise with A4s you can see whether the opponent has a hand or not. He might re-raise suggesting he has a better hand than A4s. he might call suggesting he doesnt have AA but a hand like 88s. he could be slow playing AA tho.
Whether calling with 88s from the button or the blinds is correct against a unknown early in a mtt i dont know
