Default Does anyone else here slow play aces.

it seems alot of people are going all in with them, to show weekness. Ill take aces every hand and ill always slow play them, but of course fold them if i feel someone has 2 pair or better. Alot complain about losing with aces, but id rather lose with them instead of losing to a 5 9 offsuit

I'd wouldn't consider slowplaying with a scary draw on the board. Would never limp with aces unless a mega-aggressive player is that the table raising with any two cards. The objective is to win with the aces, even if it's only a few bets. Better than losing your entire stack by letting someone outdraw you. This is the hardest hand to improve postflop when so many hand combinations gain huge equity at this point.

I play AA differently on stack size. Big stack, normal 3x 4x, or maybe 5x raise and hope to win. Short stack obviously all in. If you slow play your asking the SB and BB to hit something big. Wouldnt you rather be up against another top hand, At least then youd be ahead and can have a good guess what they have.

I always slow play As because I don't want to get sucked out on a all in and someone get a two pair. Especially when I'm in a tournement.

It depends...
but most of the time you should raise it 3-4 times, & nothing wrong to raise more pre-flop, as Aces is 70% favourite when it is against 1-2 players; but... when u got outdrawn, it sometimes hard for u to lay it down over a big bet and thus cost u a lot of chips

I rarely limp-in with aces, usually I raise 4-5 big blinds. However I have lost a lot money with this hand, it usually gets beat.

Depends on position. If I'm in a late position I'll do a small raise preflop and then if the flop looks bad I'll raise it 3/4 pot, flop is good I'll check/call until the turn where I'll raise. Depends if the cards are scary though. Sometimes I'll fold.
