With two AA it depends on the table rivals the tournament, but generally try to get as many chips from rivals
 
Very often go all in or at least play agressively that's only way to play AA.

Dear friend, it depends on the situation. You are not obliged to go allin always, there are several possibilities for moves to be made!

+1 Why are so many responses saying: "Go all-in preflop!" like their hand is unbeatable? Like, no ... just don't think this way. Pocket Aces are indeed the best starting hand preflop, but this doesn't make them invincible; besides, shoving all-in with only these premium hands may scare your opponents out of putting chips in the pot that they may have if you gave them some rope. Preflop: pocket Aces are about 85% favorites against a random hand, but most players don't play every random hand possible. Aces are great, but it is still only one pair at the end of the day; weak two pairs and straights etc. will still win if the Aces don't improve and sometimes beginners forget that even Aces are not 100%.

Here is my thinking. Pocket Aces are indeed a premium hand. Just like other premium hands, we are usually going to play aggressively and bet for value. This doesn't just mean shoving all-in preflop unnecessarily though. I've slow played this hand before, but I should note that this trapping was more to either "mix it up" or to play exploitative against my opponents; the vast majority of the time we are value betting Aces, but don't be unwilling to let them go if the board doesn't pair well enough, or you are facing a tough spot.

I always raise with AA, but sometimes check / raise in some situations can be very interesting![emoji41]
 
Hey. When a deep stack likes limping AA or calling a raise, I slowplay my hand to get 3 bet or allin. When the stack is small I go allin.
 
hi what i do with AA ofcourse will see first my oponent what will played but i dont like to go all in when i see thats i have pair of AA i play my style
 
With AA preflop You are ahead so, depending on your stack you may 3 Bet, or If you are less than 20BB Go all in.
If you bet higher than 3 Bet or go all in, players will fold and your AA hand will not get much money.
On the other hand dont slow play them either just go as the Flop and Turn develops.
 
With aces I always give all in no matter the position, because before I pay raise and I lost against even 2 pairs.
 
depends on the position, whether it is a cash game or a tournament, how many players there are. can't always play the same 🙂 of course i like to get them. once I got them 3 times in a row. : D
 
never lag with AA

AA the probabilities say shove, go all-in. Lose with AA shoves, true.
But I have lost more hands, checking, lagging, letting the board play me, losing my pre-flop advantage. You can choose not to be aggressive, but I've regretted letting the other players play me, and the board, without having to risk all.
 
most often from AA to postflop I go all-in with opponents, otherwise I am mistaken and often lose
 
usually with AA I am all-in, otherwise the situation may not be in my favor.
 
Sometimes I raise, sometimes I go all in but the fun is when there I a hyper aggressive player in your table they can 3 or 4 bet you and you can just raise it the minimum or go big then go all in the next hand depends how deep I am.

Once I won with AA, today I lost again. How you play with AA? You go all-in, or do you act like you have nothing at all?

maximum aggression when i am in UTG position, mostly all in, 4-10x pot bet when in middle size depends how aggressive players are after me, and min raise on cut off, button and small blind in hope that i get 3 bet from BB or better, all in. when on BB always all in.
 
Depend on stack size, but I play them the same as any hand I enter the pot with.
 
If I'm opening action, I will make a standard raise and call or reraise any raises pre. After the flop I try to play intelligently but it is hard to lay down those aces sometimes.
 
With AA I usually go all in before flop just like I do with 10 9 off suit 🙂
 
Always raise, reraise preflop. Most important thing for me was to learn how to fold them on the turn or river if board gets very wet and u get ton of action. in microstakes, when u get reraise on the flop or river u 99 times out of 100 are dead.
