    Pocket aces in poker

    Aces hold up 80% of the time against two random cards, but how oftern against a hand that would stay in PF with a pokcet aa raise?

    Endless amounts of theory over this one, overwhelming opinion is that you need to bet big. The fewer people in the pot the better your odds. Other than that, not much you can do, other than post when it gets beat (I always seem to lose it if someone bothers to call).

    I hate seeing a flop with AA more than any other hand. I just make a ridiculous overbet and hope I can take the blinds. Limping always seems to lead to someone else's flush or straight.

    Big bet, weed out the garbage hands, take your chances vs anyone that feels they're strong.

    Every effin time. I'm never a fan of pushing (unless you're late in a tourney) but if I do, it's with AA. You want free money here, not sweating down to the river.

    Depends on whos the chip leader and the flop cards. You gotta watch out for flushes. I would definatly raise tho, how much depending on what the flop cards were.

    I believe the correct term is pocket rockets. With aces your chances are limited but when you have rockets.... lets just say your opponents don't want to be in your sights when you're armed and dangerous.

    I think it depends on the situation. If the table is wild and people are preflop raising you might as well limp in and disguise your hand.

    This.

    Heads up? Full table?

    I usually push with them and cross my fuking fingers. "With pocket aces, you win a little or lose a lot" is probably the best poker proverb there is.

    Depends how many people are at the table, 4 or less people then sometimes I limp or just double the BB, full table of 9 or 10 people then raise big unless the blinds are huge like at the end of the tournament then just limp and hope someone tries making a play at the pot then go all in.

    You really need to develop a sense of the risk at the table. If you have a bunch of retards going all-in with ATo then you need to be careful not to get burned. If you have a tight table that doesn't play anything but pairs then you need to weed off the heroes by betting big pre-flop.

    Pretty sure Doyle Brunson said it. AA can lose big pots, or win small pots. I like to play it in a way where I win the small pots

    Could you be a little more specific about this comment? I'm pretty sure I would love to see AA when I'm at the final table of a tourney.

    The OP asked a question that does not have a direct answer as the answer depends on the playing characteristics of opponents at the table.

    Rake922, your recommendation of not playing pocket aces in the final table of a tournament is probably the most insane statement ever posted in this thread.

    The only time I could see someone folding Aces PF if they were on the bubble at a large tourney.

    Raise early with it. Best hand, but no point going all-in money table pre-flop. Tourneys, that might be another thing.

    There are definitely situations where you would want to fold pocket aces in a tournament (being on the bubble with an extremely short stack is the most common time) but to say you should NEVER play them (ALWAYS FOLD THEM) at the final table is certifiably insane.
