AA are not always the best!

[rgchan]

If you don,t want the AA,s I will gladly take them any time. Especially when some-in PUSHES ALL IN you would think they have Ace-King or a pair which the Aces would completely dominate.

if your handing out Aces I'll take a pair, they do well for me

As are good hand , but when playing with donks you odds drop when playing with seasoned player your odds are higher. Look at the play and you have to descid on your own if it the right time to play them hard

Well I have to disagree with you here. The odds are the same no matter who you are playing against. "Donks" aren't any luckier statiscally than pros. It is just that pros are smarter about how they play poker than the gambler (donk as you like to call them).

If you are against one hand with aces, you are good (hopefully, I would call any bet, any situation, if HU and I hold aces). The more hands you have to compete against, the less likely you are to win. If you call three all ins with aces, I think you are only around 60% preflop (not sure about the 60%). If you did call 3 all-ins and you were the 4th person to enter the pot, I think you might be losing that hand, but you are still a favorite.

I would love to get aces anytime I can. It is how you play them, that is the key. Peace.

Yea ill take em 2, at least ill know im gettin my money in with the best of it if its preflop .

As sorry as i play AA , i will also take them every time, but i am going to be more discreet about shoving with them and when to slow play them

[Alnoble]

I played these AAs badly but I don't think what ever I did the result would have been the same. If I shoved I'm ertain I would have been called by KK from the big stack.

A couple of time I've had 2 Aces in my hand and an Ace in the flop and got right royally turned over on the river by a flush - suffice to say I'd gone all in and been called, now that's galling!

[wagon596]

I read somewhere, you either win small or lose big with pocket aces,,,for me it's usually lose big ,,,LOL

You're actually a 63% favourit vs. 3 random hands aipf. Considering you'd likely be getting 2-3to1 on your money, you'd be in great shape!
When we're actually allin preflop with 3 other hands, when are those hands ever actually going to be 'random hands'? (I'm talking about 'real' games... not bs. super micro &/or freerolls). (odds don't change much though if our other 3 hands are sitting on 66+, AQ,AK)

That is what makes it so hard to quit playing poker. No matter how much you read, how many hours you log or how many tables you play at a time, your never going to play every hand to perfection.

Here's something to think about

Your playing a cash table and wining. Totally demolishing the table and everything is going right, notes are paying off and everyone who has gone bust reloads. Now your dealt AA and 1 player limps and you make a standard raise and 2 players after you ship all-in and the limper calls off their stacks and it is your turn....easy fold right.

after reading this, I asked myself the same qustion. If I was dominating this table and had a big stack at a cash table, I would call with A-A.At this poiont I am big stack and why would I not, more incentive if someone lost and re bought also.
So for me and I may have made a bad choice but no not really an easy fold for me. Now if this was a tourney and I was close to ITM and had to be some really interesting circumstances then yes would be an easy fold.
