ACES

Yes, No, slow play aces at a table thats 6 or higher? I got screwed doing it both times. Is that just bad luck or keep doing it?

6 players if nobody got that.

Pocket aces, or aces after the flop.

I hate slow playing period. If you slow play pocket aces preflop you're bound to give somoene a cheap flop and you're begging to get screwed.

I agree...pocket aces = all in, so chances are no one will limp in and get lucky!

I agree

you only slowplay any hand when you have the nuts and your HOPING someone will make the nut flush or house when youre holding 4 of a kind, if you dont want someone to make a hand that you cant beat, dont slow play. I always play [a] [a] very aggressively, and if everyone folds then so be it, hate slowplaying and then seeing 1 card to the flush on the flop, especially if i have the wrong suit !!!

Bob's got it right. Only slow-play if you really do have an unbeatable hand, not just a strong one. Get rid of most of the players in the hand and get heads up with one dude for all he's got.

Only slow play aces if you feel like loosing all your chips. Your chances of hitting the best hand with 5 or more when you have aces is significanly lower then heads up. In addition to this you will probably end up calling down almost anybody because of the difficulty to fold AA. I would put in a big raise. Not too big but you want to knock it down to only one or two callers max. This should give you more success and keep you from ripping out your hair from bad beats

Thanks for the replys

With online poker an ace is a strong hand to start with because i tihnk the odds are fixed specially for freeerolls for them to come out
