Playing AA

[Jenniesace]

I have lost too many times with AA. It depends on my chip stack compared to everyone at the table if I decide to go all in or not. Usually I raise pre flop and play them slow. If my 3rd A comes out on the flop then I might make a bigger raise. Losing with AA really sucks.

After getting beat to many times with pocket. AA. I leave it up to the table position, and the way other players react to my bets to dictate how i play pocket. AA. Others may disagree with me (that's fine) I want to see the flop without going all in. After the flop then i decide how much to bet. I have also learned to fold after the flop. If a player go's all in after the flop and if i don't improve, It's a no-brainer for me to fold at that point.

I am a bit wreck-less with AA and I would assume that I go 80-20 W-L. But, I try to go all-in pre-flop only because I try to get an isolation. Keep those odds HIGH. I think AA is actually a 85% chance to win preflop at worst so I feel pretty good as long as i'm head to head.

playiing aa's really comes down to position number of players in the hand and A little bit of luck. you can do everything right and still lose . we all have lol. If your going to limp in with them make sure your in a back position. if your betting big play them in an early position

For the most part,NEVER slow play your AA... more often than not,ESPECIALLY ,if you try to take it to the river,they are gonna get cracked,time and time again.... There are extenuating circumstances of course where it might be a great play but the general rule is DON'T... All you are doing is giving your opponents more cards and more time to make his/her hand... and what happens? THEY DO!! Howard Lederer even wrote an article about the "perils of slow playing AA"... My advice,don't do it.

I play AA Very safely. I may raise and if I'm big blind ill check it. I never ever go all in on AA. on special hands i would but almost never. I honestly don't like going all in on anything unless i have a feeling and sum luck. If u have been lucky all night go for it but if not i would probably just raise and call and checked try to steal pot but thats about it.

One method I definately wouldn't reccommend is limping and allowing others to see a free flop at a more conservative table. Raise 4 to 5 times the big blind so the blinds won't feel obligated to call down for pot odds in that spot. If there is an initial raiser, smooth call if you feel he has a real hand, and don't hesitate to fire a reraise if you think your opponent is trying to make a move preflop.

It is a good strategy.

AA is the best starting hand.

AA double bet, see the other player, see the connection card on the flop. If no conn. card double bet and all in at the turn or all in at the river if you have a tris. I win whit this method in 82%.
