The ONLY benefit of 23s is it has better straight potential - it can make a nut straight and it can make a 6 high straight. That doesn't compensate for the times when you need a high kicker - flush vs. flush or trips treys vs. trip treys.

I guarantee A3s is a more profitable hand in the long run, even if it does suck.
