What you do with AA?

[Whaevoz]

I, for one, am completely perplexed as to your rationale for doing this.

 

[mclaughlinph]

Honestly most recently I have come to the conclusion that shoving preflop is the only way to play AA. This way the only hands that call you are AJ+ or pocket pair which is what AA plays best against. If you slow play them people catch up to you and then you overvalue them on a messy board and what should of been a win becomes a costly loss/ If you play all in preflop and no one calls at least you still won the pot instead of losing.

Also this is the only premium hand I think you should jam preflop with the rest I think you should play more routinely but Aces should be a preflop jam. KK and QQ you want to see a flop and make sure there is no ace on it. And AK you want to make sure you hit your pair, but Aces should be a preflop shove and hope for a call. Get all the middle hands to fold and get max value when you do get a call. The thing is when you make a min raise or 3x raise preflop and you are playing aces lots of hands can call you that do better on a middling board. 2 pair especially. In those hands where a board straights or flushes and someone is pushing the pot while you have aces you have to let it go. So you can shove preflop and get called for max value by the best hands only or get folded all around. 90% of the time you win this way. If you slow play your aces you then may lose to the other players hand but you may also lose to the board if its not favorable its like adding another opponent especially if the player pushes the pot on a draw heavy board. IMO

Hello,
I never had AA, but i'm newbi, i play poker only three months ))

 

[olegshubin]

It all depends on the position and stage of the tournament, but generally with AA the most win-win option is to go all in)

 

[koisug]

I am very happy when this happens!!:icon_joke:icon_joke:icon_joke

 

[Roobz75]

I forgot to add, it also depends on your position in the game, the type of players you're up against and your stack at that time.

 

[Pindiez]

Its depends the position on the table and the tournament, but usually is ALL IN 🤪


Sorry for my english 😬

As already mentioned above, what kind of tournament is what, what is the situation at the table (to know what other players will do at the table, during our turn, Raise or All-in) I often play through a good raise so that the rest throw off their connectors, etc., catch more thrips or 2 pairs)) Well, then the matter of luck

 

[vashsv]

I play aggresively, and following the maths of the game. Also when there is a fold needed I fold them!

If you don't want to face difficult decisions you should always raise fairly big with AA. It will be a lot more easier to range your opponent if you get a call, yes you will still lose sometimes, but It will happen very rarely. You will pretty much play your hand face up and you will get called mostly by premiums. So this approach saves you from some frustration but on the flip side if you will do it only with AA, people will start playing with you accordingly and call you down with 2 pair or better. On the others hand if you mix it up you will make more money in the long run just have to give it time, but it will get you in a lot more nerve-wracking spots, so its up to you which approach you want to take.

I love to slow play AA unless there is a good raise before me then ill raise over the top of that! I also love to check-raise AA

 

[5KINGLEO5]

it is a strong hand and we should make big profits from it. I play it aggressively so as not to let out as few players as possible, fewer players less chance that you lose AA.

 

[CERRATO505]

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?

well 7 out of 10 times I think I go all in

 

[meser09]

I play it aggressively, that is sure. After the flop appears, depending on which cards they are, you force even harder, but you also wait for the opponents' reaction.

 

[luiz6422]

Pre allin, I lose 100 times a day such is the freeroll. no need to go all-in pre-flop

 

[crazydogg666]

If the stack is small all in, if the stack is large first raise then all in. Well, depending on the situation at the table, you can play in different ways)

 

[Coinuss]

Do not forget about the position. Pre-flop all-in with AA you have to be lucky for someone to call, and it just kills the equity of the hand. I like push allin after someone got a tilt and an open raise, it's easy for him to call. Usually I make the first 3bb bet and 3-bet 2.5x or 3x after the bet before me. And usually a value bet on the flop and call raise. It’s a difficult decision when a bet is placed in front of me and it was raised as a result of a lot of chips in the center. Then I close my eyes and push allin and frequently this set against AA, and I lose because I can’t drop the rockets.

 

[Darwinjose14]

Todo depende de la posición y la etapa del torneo, pero en general, con AA, la opción más beneficiosa para todos es ir todo adentro)

 

[costy1300]

With AA in hand without a flop I give all-in.:rock:

 

[pendulabgd]

I scare this cards !! I go to flop if don't come an ace and they go all in I fold easy !!

But you must have big bet preflop in order to getting paid only by the strong hands, you basically must kick out players who can hit the flop and try to be the one who dictate the bets, don't let them and usually when players go allin they are protecting top pair or overpair, it very rare to see allin after the flop and to have nuts hand, after the river okay but you are trying not to let them to see the river. Watch some strategy course online (I suggest how to become a winning poker player in a 30 days here on CC) and you will figure it out on how to play poker, not just AA.

 

[Pindiez]

I always go all in!! 😛

 

[Mohamed48]

All in without a flop , play it aggressively

 

[ToNy70929]

Usually with AA cards, this is a raise or re-raise preflop. But in exceptional cases, when the players at the table are careful, then I simply call to force the players to open up and catch them:five:

 

[topcatbrazil]

The most natural option is to go all-in, I think it is a good option, but say you are playing with players that you know are all very tight, if you go all win you will steal the blinds. Seems to me that it is a bad option, AA can't mean that you are simply winning the blinds. You have to make more of it than simply robbing the blinds. On the other hand if you check and you have a pair on the flop, or a flush draw you will have to evaluate they might have a hand. It doesn't seem to me as the easiest hand to decide.

 

[Maume]

It depends a lot on how many blinds I have. Most of the time I play very aggressive!

 

[lyudiko]

Hi. I usually go all in.
I sometimes regret it. But who does not take risks, does not drink antibiotics)
