Playing AA on the deal

I need ideas on how to play AA dealt to you. Can anyone tell me how they play them?

Just keep in mind that AA can be "broken." Much depends on my position. I often will limp in with them to see the flop, then raise against any other raises. If there appears to be a straight, flush, or full house building, I'll smooth call to the river. More often than not, though, I'll be very aggressive at either preflop or the flop, as I don't like to float to the river with just a pair.

AA seems to get cracked often online especially in the freerolls because so many people call with mid to low level hands almost always in the begining stages of a tournyment not saying dont play it just be carefull and play cautius

I always play them hard in tourneys but only 80% that way in cash games. Price the donks out before the flop.

I gennerally try to raise on third of my stack with them. Followed by an allin unless the board flops a pair. Then I will call any bettors.

In a freeroll or low buy-in you're gonna get cracked a lot.
In a decent buy in then my impression has been to push the heck out of them. If you don't, you're only letting your opposition catch up cheap. And we all know, if you let htem, they will. 10x's BB Period!!
Get your money in that pot and make them pay to play.
Again, free roll or very low buy-in, they're calling regardless.

10x BB. Omg you thing someone would call you.
I prefer to raise a little just to cleanse some of the limpers. Then depending on the action on the flop i would most likely jam the pot, and if the board is scary and I got reraised i would most likely fold. The reason is because I am most likely beaten and that I can hardly can fold pocket AA's after the flop. I try to discipline myself. Just get in mind AAs can be cracked som be careful with em.

The more people in the pot, the bigger chances for aces to get cracked, I guess preflot play is crucial here. Only blinds is not enough with such a hand, I find best to have 2 - 3 opponents on the flop. And then it all depends, sometimes (if flop comes small) I would let someone else lead, sometimes even all-in.

Thanks to all for the info. I will try harder when I get AA again to adhere to your replies.

Are you crazy?!?! never EVER limp with ACES!!!! imagine you get dealt AA limp in with 3 others and flop comes 9 T 3. Someone could've easily limped in with 9 T and flopped two pair and you have no way of knowing that! Raise it up PF EVERY time with ANY big PP. Theres no need to go crazy with 10xBB raises either. A little over the standard PF raise should do. Maybe 5x or 6x depending on how many other limpers there are. That way you can start putting your opponents on a hand, and watching the board closely. Make em PAY for the cards son!!!

limp in then push is another viable strategy

I always like to see the flop if I am holding AA. I sit back to see how others are betting then after the turn I will bet hard if I see alot of checks which means to me that they have nothing.
Again its luck and to me a gut feeling.

There are many ways to play pocket aces, but the best way (in my opinion) is to get all of your money in pre-flop. That way the chance of people donking out on you is slim. Hopefully at least one person commits with you. No more than two people though because that can be risky.
