Message: [QUOTE="diamond_06_06, post: 932147, member: 21580"] Don't slow play Aces - slowplaying creates smaller pots with more opponents. Big Pocket pairs like QQ+ are best played heads up or against just 2 other opponents. You do not want to slow play AA except for very rare occasions when you wil do it for deceptive reasons. You should also not limp from early position with AA hoping to re-raise unless you are extremely certain it will be raised behind you (even if you succeed in limp raising frop EP this sends up a flag and opponents can narrow your hand rang down significantly). So why raise with Aces - 1. You know you absolutely have the best hand so why not build a pot while we are big favourites. 2. Because big pairs play better short handed we want to raise to push out alot of the weaker hands (with every extra limper your hand strengh decreases substantially). [/QUOTE]
