What you do with AA?

deeznutzz · Mar 12, 2020

If your short stacked meaning 15BB or less it's best to just shove all in and take your chances. I will open raise from any position and in most situations I'll 3bet preflop. If the my opponent wants to push all in l will call him. But if he 3bets over the top of me I will just call the bet. I figure if the board is dry then he will most likely be aggressive if he connects on top pair or if he's holding a pair of over cards. If the board has a lot of texture meaning a lot of opportunities for monster hands like straights or flushs and none connecting to my hand then I may try a bluff once if that doesn't work I give up trying to steal the pot and I check while I allow the aggressiveness of my opponents bet determine if I call or fold my hand. Even though AA or KK are monster hands preflop it's still best to limit your exposure to all in showdowns. Especially in MTT were the goal is to stay in the tournament as long as you possibly can. Their are many times during tournaments where chip protection is more important than the chance to double up is. Even though your AA will win 80% of the time that still means you will lose 1 out of every five hands you shove preflop.before you decide what to do you should ask yourself is this the one in five hands I don't mind losing with

Thank you for the in depth answer. What you have presented is sound play with options to different circumstances. I never want to lose one hand with aces, I have folded them.

Hi, I always hide aces. I try to make the opponent think that I have a weak hand

Well, in vain! Two aces is not a victory yet ...

Popescu97 · Mar 21, 2020

ALL in with no more doubts and with some emotions

There is no unique pattern for playing any pocket cards. Pocket aces are the best hand cards and impose aggressive preflop game, but sometimes flop can make them very unsafe (such as suited or connected cards on flop). There are many factors that determine the way we play. If this is a tournament, the two are crucial: 1. how many chips we have, 2. what phase the tournament is in. If we are in a good position to play aggressively, and if we are in an insecure zone, I would not force much, I would play a minimal call, so that it is not a family pot where some luckier always spoils our plans. The flop directs whether we will continue non-aggressively or take the initiative. In any case you need a bet, only the intensity is variable.

Like any other hand there are multiple factors to consider before you could answer this question. Stack size position and aggressiveness of other players are a few. Sometimes a shove is the best call other times maybe a check to an overly aggressive player. Most times I will just lay down a healthy bet to weed out the chances of suck outs while not crippling my stack in case I do need to lay them down post flop.

ArmiSoo7 · Mar 21, 2020

From my experience, I think it is better to go just all in pre flop.... Had so many times when some players call me with bad hands and hit the river....

freestocks · Mar 21, 2020

We've all lost with aces. Feels like you got ripped off.

I used to try and trap slow playing aces. Now I play aggressively.

steveeeee · Mar 21, 2020

Poker

A pair pocket aces is always dangerous for me. I flew out of tournaments very often when I was pre-flop all-in with a pair of aces. I prefer a hand with suited connectors.

SharkyJohn · Mar 21, 2020

What I try to do is going all in, if not immediately but definitely. There's different situations and no single universal strategy to play AA, each play is unique.
What I'd suggest is tricking your opponent to go all in, you should try to take as much a possible. Try to avoid multiple opponents, 1-2 is the best. I know it's super hard to fold Aces but fold it if there's to much action on board (and you have only a pair).

nicuchico · Mar 21, 2020

I do not afraid to play with all table lol

Tolyanchemp · Mar 22, 2020

it all depends on the situation of course. but 2 aces are always very pleasing to the eye)

stylebender72 · Mar 22, 2020

I dont fold that hand preflop 😑

thehangdude · Mar 22, 2020

In early stages of a tournament, I am never afraid to push my chips in with AA pre-flop, especially if there are limpers before me. Mid tournament, I tend to play them like any other high pair, bid aggressively, but don't bet the farm. They are only a pair post-flop.

kamciono5 · Mar 23, 2020

What i do when i get AA ?
I lose 90% of these situations

efranto2286 · Mar 23, 2020

hello usually aggressive play with two AA to try to win as many as possible, aumque touched me to lose but parde of the game

RVTR7777 · Mar 23, 2020

...Hello friend, AA a hand that is difficult to play, I have usually varied the type of play with that hand to try to increase the winnings.
I did this if in the last AA hand I bet everything on the next attempt to raise 4x, I always try to play aggressively.
Trying several different ways not to be the same
Luck on the tables gl.

Ptiza · Mar 23, 2020

I look at this combination of cards and wonder: why the hell did I choose this game?

flanylpant · Mar 23, 2020

Try to get it in however you can

jesuisjesus · Mar 24, 2020

99 of 100 times I will call AI preflop with AA. The last cach in wich I will not call is the final table of the wsop Main Event.
When all 8 player go all-in preflop.

MC_asp · Mar 24, 2020

Raise preflop and check the flop on possible straight, flush or full house chances. If the chance on a straight, flush or full house are smalle then raise again.

What you do with AA?
