Playing AA

[jeff5081]

Better to win a little than lose a lot. Bet big with AA.

If i have AA I always rise! this is one good way

I always play AA aggressivily because I lost soo much times by slow playing this hand.

i guess this is the better strategy ...


a small raise, many players in pot, is a very bad situation ...

people making 2 pair in ragged flop ... flush, str8

low stakes propably worse ...
people call blinds with any hand ...

good to win few chips or to lose a lot ...

i go all in everytime with AA. other tactics are stupid

[asakill]

People lose cause they forget aa is only a pair after flop. Look on the table to look out for straights, flush, 3 of a kind, 2pair , full house etc

2x the bb is too small of a pre-flop raise, you're asking for people to call with iffy-hands, and you are bound to lose to some luck. a solid pre-flop raise eliminates a lot of hands. a lot of people lose with aces because they refuse to accept that a/a can, in fact, lose post-flop because there are other cards out on the board. basically, pre-flop don't slowplay, and post-flop, be careful and know when you need to lay it down.

of course, sometimes people get trickey with rockets by limping, etc., but don't do it if you don't know what you're doing.

all in with AA is suicide. Win big or loose it all? Not the kind of thought pattern I like to use. I also would rather raise 4 5 times blind and be watchfull from there. Being able to loose alittle verses all. hmmmm

i dont slow play pocket A's bc you got also have the chance that youll get beat with a flush
