Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 728030, member: 26306"] Wow, people are advocating such scared play with them. It's the best hand in poker, you want 1 or 2 callers. The play advocated by most here is likely to get you 0 action and you'll pick up the blinds. Raise preflop, but raise how ever much you usually do, the standard is 3x BB +1 BB/limper. You have to be able to lay down AA on a flop, as unless you set you don't want to be committing your entire stack (assuming you bought in max and opponent has close to max) with just an overpair. There are situations where we will stack off with AA unset, but this is all about reads. If you can't fold AA postfop then sure the kind of play advocated here (open raising 6x BB) is likely to work the best, but if you can play poker postflop, you want at least 1 caller. That's the recipe for extracting much more money, especially with people who will commit a lot with their TPTK or similar. [/QUOTE]
