Pocket Aces

[dtgld]

personally, i love having poc A's in my hand when someone ahead of me pushes with a huge raise preflop to steal the blinds. they turn over their crap cards like K6 and i turn over my Aces like BAMMM! TAKE THAT!..lol

pocket aces although not everyone thinks that way is the most difficult hand to play pre flop.
because of that your act should be depended on your stack position and play position.

I think people get so overwhelmed by seeing both Aces that they forget what it is they're actually holding... Sure, it's the preflop top hand, but what it is REALLY is just guaranteed top pair. I fold plenty of top pairs all the time to the big hand draws, and aces are no different. If you have so much faith in the AA then don't always throw an all-in call. When you do that, you do it because you think they'll win at showdown from any caller... so play it out and retain control within the hand.

my philosophy is get all your chips in if you know you have the best hand so definately go all in with these atleat if you lose you know you got sucked out on feel better about losing your chips

The odds of winning with pocket AA is the greatest of any hand. When you get a chance, go to Wikipedia to see the odds - if you go ALL-IN with AA every time, you will win more than any other hand.

The strategy is simple. You have the best possible hand pre-flop. Knock out some idiots who may stay in with 2-3, and hope to get a KK or any other top hand or hands to call. The more opportunities you give lame players, the more sorry you will be. So, go with the odds and go ALL-IN all the time with AA pre-flop.

It depends. You should never play any hand the same every time. The table that you are on will dictate how you play any hands. With AA I want one ideally, two max, opponents. I want heads up with all-in preflop everytime, but you can't always get that. Maximize every hand.

I love to slow play AA at cash tables with a minimum bet. I MTT`s I prefer to push preflop as your gonna get so many calls with the slow play your bound to lose. HU cash game I bet 10x the BB as with most hands. HU in a MTT you have to push as most people do not mind a 2nd place finish and call with most anything.

It depends how other people at the table are playing, and whether it's a cash game or a tournament. If I can be confident that someone else will do the betting for me, I usually let them make the running for me.
