You can shove your pocket Aces on prefop but it possible you will get called by a donk and get beat. I have tried to play AA so many different ways. Probably have a 50/50 chance with AA. Play them however you feel best.

it depends on the scenario.. no u don't just ship allin unless its final table and your in a bluffing position. But if someone else is allin in front of you the only proper time to fold is when your playing an event that credits top 15 or top 30 or top 10 with a token/coupon or all the same prize pool.. at that point if your near the money it could be beneficial to fold and just let the other players bust each other
I go all in... Of course pocket aces win big pots. But often they win small pots or lose big pots. The reason is simple. As you should almost always raise them pre flop, you will face few opponents, who will fold if they miss the flop. This leads to winning many small pots.
I dont usually go all in, but ill raise pre flop 3-5 times the blind.
depends on a lot of things; what type of opponent(s), cash game or tourney, early/late stages of tourney, bb left, etc
but in general you need to try to isolate one player if you want to go all in preflop.
slow playing is scary. the more players in to see the flop the more chance you can lose with pocket aces. If I can get it down to no more then 2 other players I might slow play. its no more risky then when some donk calls you all in and they have like 6-9 off suit and catch 2 pair. Its all a risk thats why its called gambling
depends on chips in my hand, if low i will all in , if high i will raise to 3 times.
On Pokerstars if you play on cash tables and go all-in with Aces you will win,but on tournaments if you go all-in and get called by sh!t hands like 72,82,84,etc. you will lose :)
pocket AA is very strong card untill u dont see the all 5 cards so try to be aggresive.
yeah lets not scare everyone away on an all in but dont slow play either
I'd prefer to see the flop.. Going all in with pocket anything gets you beat a high percentage of time... The more players that stay in on a hand like that.. increase your chances of losing... I hate to lose everything in a tourney... don't you?

depends if its heads up obviously all in but if you see others pushing in I would suggest fold because less likely your hand is gonna be best
i prefer slow play but depend from situation :D
It matters what your image is and who is behind you waiting to act
This is the reason I was knocked out.......I have had the Worst 4 Bad Beats EVER!!!!!! I have tried this freeroll 4 separate times. The field is usually under 200 players. Each time I have been knocked out between 40 and 50th standings with the worst unforeseeable bad beats! Last night was the icing on the cake. I had AA and I did not do an aggressive bet. I had 6K and others were approx 10K and above. One stayed and the flop was AKK he checked and I bet pot. The turn was K I bet pot again he called. I was stupid to go all in. He called and the last two K9. winning with 4 of a kind K's over my boat. This is how these freerolls have gone for me each an unbelievable bad beat. There I said it...so frustrated I only have one more ticket left to use and I do not want to even try...Thanksfor the ears all

Always raise. Don't slowplay unless there is a wildman behind you who you are sure will raise so you can reraise.
By raising you should eliminate most of the hands that always surprise you on a mixed card flop. Those calling a raise usually have an ace, face cards or pocket pairs (we are assuming you are not in a freeroll with donks who don't know better). A lot of high cards on the flop signals caution. When low cards hit and someone bets agressively, reraises your raise, consider you may be up against trips.
Early in freerolls and low buyin tournaments a lot of players don't give others credit for big hands so an all-in there will probably get a few callers. Many callers lowers you odds of winning but you are still ahead going into the flop.
Yes MIsurfer... It's obvious that what I said is true.... If you're in a tourney... avoid going all in yourself or calling it... remember the winner is the last man standing in a tourney... Go all in a few times and you're gonna wind up a loser.... Don't go all in unless post flop you know you've got the winning hand... even then, it's best to place value bets and milk the table...
Raise and if u get re-popped shove or check call if u see a flop aa cant be great but deadly as well
I play them aggressively preflop. I usually won't go all in simply because I want more money in the pot. The table is more likely to fold all the way around. The kick is making a large enough bet without limping to the river.
When limping to the river and then going all in is when I see Aces get cracked the most.
I play agressively, but am also wary as they do lose sometimes.
Definite All-in preflop 90% of time, certain situations i wont though
In a cash game you never fold AA preflop, but I have done it a few times in tourneys in very acute situations.
Gotta raise big so you dont get more than one caller
never go allin preflop with any cards.go only if u got raise or reraise
Good strategy!Quote:

raised, and after this you should shove :D
Slow-playing a big pair preflop is just one of the instances where you might choose to gamble - just like chasing down a flush draw when you know the big better has you beat at the moment. But if you DO opt to slow-play, don't whine like a little bitch if you get cracked.Quote:

i like to limp under the gun and reraise all in preflop with aces. you get calls from AQ AK quite often !
hmmm its complicated question
depend on what kind of game we are playing,,tournaments or ring game and depend on our situation,, our stack and many things else
Both, but more often a less extreme approach.Quote:
