How Do You Play Pocket Aces

mimexsrl · Sep 15, 2017

Hello Everybody,

let's discuss the pocket Aces Play. What is your strategy to maximize profit from these cards?

Iryna Stryzheuskaya · Sep 15, 2017

Only a raise, no slowplaying

Andrew Popov · Sep 15, 2017

Raise or All-in! Fish will pay.

Tournament play or cash game?
In tourney its highly depends on what situation ur in and In cash table i prefer 3bet but it also depends in the position ur in or u can go all in everytime u have it....

Agree completely. Yet, I'm amazed at how often you see people slow playing them. Sometimes it works. They're counting on somebody hitting a smaller pair, or a good draw, going crazy and not improving. That does happen sometimes, but more often the Aces just make a small amount, or they get bested.

How often have you seen the blinds take down a big pot because their otherwise non-playable hand hit a miracle flop for free?

Playful says to raise a little and look for the chance to go all in.

Very carefully so often get beat not sure there is a set rule whatever works!

Aca0012 · Sep 15, 2017

very cautious! It does not need to be too tied to the pocket acces!

It depends on many factors.

1) Blind levels, are they small, are they big, are the blinds at the mid stages?

2) Your stack size compared to the blinds (I.E) How many BBs you have left?

3) The type of players with you at the tables? Are they passive/stations? Are they overly aggressive? Do they just "Flat", do they "3bet/4bet on a continual basis"?

4) The position of the table?

5) Your Image? By opening, will you get respect? By opening do they think you're just "Opening because (You're just opening)?

So answer Is It really depends

If I am running low on chips I will be risky and take the chance with all in or large raise. If I have more chips to mess around with i do a small raise see who is biting and what is on the board and decide from there how to play them.

TheBull953 · Sep 15, 2017

Slow playing can make sense if you are calling a raise from late position and no one else has entered the pot. It disguises your hand well and generally plays pretty well against an opponent's range in this spot.

Amanda A · Sep 15, 2017

Raise or re raise pre flop. If I re raised I'm happy to keep re raising even if I get all my money in pre flop. After the flop be careful on boards that offer straight or flush draws.

tysfm · Sep 15, 2017

Raise, but be aware if the opponents don't fold pre flop there's a chance you'll lose to a flush, straight or set. Keep an eye on the flop suit makeup.

BlackJesus · Sep 16, 2017

That depends on how many players have limped in before you. If only one, it is better to just call. A re-raise most likely will shake him off either pre-flop or in flop, but just call will make him feel more safe. With more than 1 opponents though, it is better to re-raise, since with 2 opponents it is only 60% chance to be better in river, so it is OK to raise. With 3 opponents it is definitely a re-raise!

shinedown.45 · Sep 16, 2017

I'm raising/3betting/4betting/pushing all-in, no limping and no calling.

HADESO86 · Sep 16, 2017

Play aggressively, but carefully.

AMTF1988 · Sep 16, 2017

One time I made all little raise to get a few callers, in my experience before that no-one called so I would waste my Aces. Flush board comes out so I fold to the bet. Since then I always shove Aces and hardly ever lose with them

RENEY444 · Sep 16, 2017

It depends on my stack size on how I play Aces. If I'm short, I'm allin . If I have some chips I'll make a min. raise and see if I get any calls , then I shove .

oakthyago · Sep 16, 2017

just go all in pre flop, its easy as take a candy from a kid.

Good luck, good vibes, good game!

cranberry · Sep 17, 2017

With pocket pair AA - raise to 3-5 BB from any position. If the opponent did re-raise, you need to make a 4-bet - and so on up to all-in. You need to reduce the number of players. In any case, don't slowplay pocket aces.

Mini1380 · Sep 17, 2017

If i have been playing aggressive all tourney I will play the aa aggressive. Bit if I been slow all match I would slow play the aa

EGOR77 · Sep 17, 2017

in fact, everything depends on the situation, the position behind the table, the number of chips. two aces need to be played correctly)

Rational Madman · Sep 17, 2017

Semiplay it. Bet to 3x the bb or so then underbet as you go along the hand unless you read the person as having caught a high pair and know they're the type to call a big bet or even better reraise.

vov4ik · Sep 18, 2017

play on a pair AA in a small bet is very bad, you need to raise 3-4 times or go all in for the pair to go ok, each player plays differently, but I raise or I give all in to win on a pair of AA

Uniform rules are not all in the situation and the chosen discipline of poker!
