In cash is it good to go all in with AA in first position?

paulove · Sep 23, 2019

What u think people?

eurosTotnd · Sep 23, 2019

going all in with aa préflop is always a good decision , but generally you will not have actions when you shove like that , however you can shove like that specially after a bad beat , they will think you are on tilt

EvertonGirl · Sep 23, 2019

I wouldn't shove just because I have aces, why would you want folds?? I definitely would be raising to narrow the field.

Cam54 · Sep 23, 2019

I would raise normally, same as I did with any other hand from UTG within my range or the range I had adjusted to the table ... I want a caller maybe two but not really more than that ... after all it is just a pair, and bad flop can change everything ... your equity goes way down with more callers than that , so you do want to reduce the field, but I want more than just the blinds : )

korneel · Sep 23, 2019

If you go all-in people will know you have good cards.
Just do your normal betting size and hope someone reraises

mpelletier92 · Sep 23, 2019

I raise a lot and go all-in if re-raised.

Weeds out bad hands and if everybody folds it's still a win.

XXPXXP · Sep 24, 2019

ALL in is not bad.
but definitely not best.
AA is you want stack all in preflop for the best. To max your equity.
but I double be called if you all in.

I think it depends on stake amount. If you are only playing for nickels and dimes and you have seen a loose player at your table, then I say heck yea. If you are playing on a higher skilled table then I would think you would just raise and hope for a call. What a great and loaded question...LOL

akmost · Sep 26, 2019

Are you trolling or is this a serious question? You don't open shove in cash games , ever!

You may go all in after a 3bet or 4bet.

NUGGEETTEE · Sep 27, 2019

Depending on your goals. IF you dont want to lose with AA then go all in but if the goal is to make money then raise 3 or 4 times the blind and then once the flop you gauge the sitatution and either go all in or play strong

zinzir · Sep 27, 2019

Yes, I'd rather make a little money with AA then lose a lot. The problem with AA is that after the flop you have no idea if your opponent is betting into you or calling your bets with a hand that is superior or inferior to yours. He could only have top pair, and then you're good, but he could have two pair or anything above, and then you're toast. Especially if you try to trap and allow multiple people to see the flop, you are setting yourself up for disaster, unless you have truly superior poker skill.

praevus · Sep 27, 2019

I think that raise is better option because someone can re-raise or just call, if you go all-in probably most of times you win the pot without a oponent and lost a chance to win some money.

akufto · Sep 28, 2019

here already and to me almost all wrote that it is better to do a raise and to win Bank, than to go all-in and to receive nothing except a fold.

greatgame230 · Sep 28, 2019

What can you win with all-in pre-flop with AA? the right thing is o give value to the hand not to win only the blinds

Aprendiz_Edu · Sep 28, 2019

Right or wrong with AA I always go all-in.
I don't care what they think

there is no right or wrong in poker

Going all-in with AA will always be a good decision ... however the ideal is to try to get some opponent into the pot ... for that reason if you play all-in preflop in the first positions hardly any opponent calls ... So it would be best to make a bet of 2.5 to 3 BB.

With all due respect but if in poker there is no right and wrong, then why study, watch videos and hand analysis. According to you, this would be a waste of time.

Index12 · Sep 28, 2019

If you somehow have a maniac image and you get multiple callers each time then sure. Otherwise I'd either three-bet shove or four-bet shove.

TheDude6622 · Sep 28, 2019

Why shove in first position preflop? You want to try to build a pot. Either monster raise or min-raise depending on the table. Just shoving is playing scared poker at a cash game....unless you know you'll get a call of course!

myquickwit · Sep 28, 2019

What cash game are you playing in where you are getting called by a utg shove? You are only picking up blinds unless a cooler is dealt, KK possibly QQ or just very weak table that is calling for some crazy reason. But generally you are killing your action so I would say no this is not a good play and don't do it.

ArmiSoo7 · Sep 29, 2019

I think that your all in pref lop will scared them, better is big bet

williamsc99 · Sep 29, 2019

Well you can raise, call, or go all in. What you can't do is fold an AA

Pepitcho23 · Sep 29, 2019

Its easy to call all in preeflop with AA. Its alsoeasier to lose all our stack with pockets Aces, after all its just a simple pair. So simple to badbeat,

smk77 · Sep 29, 2019

OP it depends on your goal. If you want to win the hand, sure shove all-in but you are very unlikely to win much money at all.

If your goal is to make money, which I believe it should be, just a normal raise 2.5-3 BB imo. Sure you can take bad beats, but that is why you should have a proper bankroll.

It can be tricky to play postflop sometimes, but the more you play you 'should' learn more about the likelyhood of what others should have.

You could limp wait for a raiser then go all in or just go all in.

In cash is it good to go all in with AA in first position?
