AA's

[Dazzler69]

Yesterday I spent about 8hours playing poker online, mixing between S'n'G's and cash games. But throughout the day I had AA about 6 or 7 times and didnt win one. I raised the first few and still got beaten by trips or a straight draw on the river. I tired slow playing and still got beat. When i got the last one i was in a multi table sit and go and i was high stack on the table and someone went all in so i called, and they had 10,10 and i got beat by trips. I think my AAs may have been jinxed yest, altho it may have been AAs in genral coz when i got to heads up in the s'n'g i went all in with JJ i got called and he had AA and i got a flush.

I have learnt though from it, coz when i first started playin bout 6/7months ago i thought if i hads AA no one could beat me. So we live and learn!!

AA is not the holy grail of cards,i play them with caution,and be prepared to lay them down

I got AA once and got beat by 26 because he caught two pair to the river

AA is a great hand, if you play it well.


AA is a hand to forget about position, IMO you have to raise at least 55% your chipstack, that way they'll see you are serious and willing to go all in. I know you are thinking "but 55% is a lot!" But you WERE willing to go all in on that, so just take it like the man-woman you are and take those donks off the hand.


Show them you got something great, and wont leave it up for the poker gods.

as with most hands, there are so many different ways to play them depending on your position, your chip stack, what kind of table your on, the size of the blinds, etc, etc.
just remember it's only certain your ahead pre-flop and if you allow more than one or two other players to see a flop with you, then don't get blinded by what you see or complain if you lose. it will happen .........a lot !

i raise my AA to at least 20% of my chips

flop without 3rd ace big raise
flop with ace, i play slow if there is a low flush/straight danger^^


worked quite fine until now

i hate AA,i lost always when i have it

[ragemedia]

If you slow play your AA your going to lose... thats the bottom line
you never slow play Ace Ace, as someone mentioned earlier.. AA = All In

LOL...AA is definetely not unbeatable...so just be prepared to lay it down when you see flush/straight draw.
