How to Play Aces

[zwbb]

Much depends on who is with you at the table.

This determines the decision in each case.

I like AA, but I'm apprehensive about them.

I have lost some big hands with pocket aces, and I have won a few, but mainly collect small pots with them. Slow playing is dangerous, but overly strong play can yield very few chips. Take a look at this hand I played and give me some advice if I could have changed my play at any point.

Was I doomed to get few chips because of their hands, my play or the spade flush possibilities ?

With pocket Aces allways 4xbb(min),if begin tournamet,10xbb!No limpers!

just push all in !

It's a bad idea! The opponent must pay, but so that the bad hand does not go into the bank. If you are destined to lose with AA at this moment, then you will lose, despite how you play them!

I try to play AA aggressively, because I lost a lot
money or stack in the game and lost to small cards when there is a small bet, or when I do not raise the AA bet, now I look at the situation on the table or I do 3-4 Bet bet and more or go to the whole stack in the game with AA all-in!

The range of responses run from all in no matter what to small bet pre-flop. I should keep track of the times I get AA. Memory can be selective. I remember the times I lose big hands with them and when I win next to nothing with them. I am sure that I have also won my fair share of big pots with them. It just seems that I get them under the gun to start a tournament, when half the table is sitting out and end up with the blinds.
