When to lay down AA?

[Crespo25]

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't read Doyle Bronson's book but I have often heard it quoted that he says you should always always slow play aces.

AA has only 2 outs. u cant only play that hand if u hit ur 3rd A (odds about 5% i think). And if the flop is rainbow and no str8draw u must think to be in front. i would have called everything with my AA. Maybe he had AJ, top pair and top kicker, many players go allin with that. And u would have folded AA although u had dominated him? No way. But ur right, it was a very unlucky way you lost that hand, and it was a bad beat. But he played his hand right in my opinion.

in my opinion he played well, he might think you have AJ or something like that, a set besides is the hardest hand to detect as i see it

Pocket aces lose so many times online because of variuose traps which almost never happen in real. So I prefer lay down pocket aces and take the prize then play them and finish without the money.

i agree.......... sometimes
