AA, the bain of y poker life
Hi all,
Having pocket A's or, basically, any premium pOcket pair is a try to get someone all-in preflop. Do not allow people to see cards as this will give people a chance to work out their pot odds and thus that premium hand you think you have is nout but rags. Even AA, KK etc. Sometimes you can go as for as the flop, but if you see flush or straight possabilities and someone is betting like they have a shot at it, either fold (especially if there is the probability of a higher pair out there) or re-raise over the top... make it very expensive for them to hit there straight/flush.
Only slow play a premium pocket pair if there is rags on the board or you could hit a nut flush/straight.
Hope this helps.

By the way, Suited connectors just rock. Bet with these bad boys rather than you're pocket rockets everytime. Although, a pocket pair could end up being the full house beast, but if you don't hit the set on the flop... just limp along, if you can.
