RAISE or NOT.

i think the raise it's very not good as with if you have AK , player who call your little raise, he can win with nothing.I think you must call , not raise and after you see.

big slick is definatley a pump or dump hand, you either fold it or you raise it up. I hate big slick personally but if i do play it i raise with 99.9% of the time

always check or call with AA or KK anything lower you should raise the pot with like QQ because any ace or king can beat you and you want them to pay you to see the flop but if you have KK or AA check it and see the flop 9 times out of 10 there wont b any hand that can beat it but some1 eill pick up a pair of queens which on the board will be top pair and they will bet into you always re-raise or bet after the flop never check because theres always a chance with 4 cards of a straight good luck to all

I disagree entirely with you. Never check or just call rockets or cowboys. Your just asking to get donked out by the bb when they hit 2 pairs with their q/3 offsuit. Raise it large and get people out of the hand.

Yeah I have to agree with Tish. You must raise preflop with your A's or K's. You MUST get the little hands out of the hand so that no one gets lucky on you and sucks out.
If there are 5-7 or more in the pot and you allow everyone to call the big blind, you are just asking for your bad beat.

As with AK.... You should always RAISE usually about 4-5X the big blind and then you know is someone calls you they must have paint cards or pocket pairs most likely and you can play with that knowledge.

[rovinato]

If i'm in early position just call with AA KK AK, if raised them probably i'll go all in or re-raise.
Depend if is a tournament or cash game, and the stack of my caller.
Even if you let see the flop to other people you can win, with the right cards on the table.
If you get lucky, and make a full with high cards, and someone make a stright or a flush, he never imagine you just called with your high cards.

[Dazzler69]

if people try to slow play there AA or KK and get beaten i have no sympathy for them. It serves them right for not raising when the 7-2off in the BB hits there 2pair or something

Raise Protect Ur Good Hnd

no doubt: RAISE

[SweBlackbird]

That's a great hand to play, I'm playing with A A and I'm always started to raise, but sometime I'm fold with a A A, becuase I'm lagging here. That's really annoying me. I'm think you need to go all in.
