Message: [QUOTE="xdmanx007, post: 298449, member: 889"] You could argue that being too aggressive with rockets which gets everybody to fold preflop is a bad strategy because relatively speaking you haven't won anything. Slow playing aces gets you into trouble because a limper might hit a homerun on the flop. The best strategy is assess your opponents and make your preflop bet so that you will get yourself heads up. At that point it all depends on the board how you bet. I will almost always over bet the pot if I am checked to or raise to at least a pot bet if I act first. Because you want to show strength without trapping yourself, while gaining as much information about your opponents hand as you can, ie paying attention to how long they take to act and what the size of their bet is. The key is to not pot commit yourself and have the disipline to fold rockets if you feel you are beat [/QUOTE]
