AA in SB

cash game,hero in SB with AA, about 60BB
some one call 3BB, Can some me teach me the way get as much as possible in cash game.

you need advice on playing the best preflop hand? I raise 80% of the time with rockets and limp 20%. If somebody raised 3BB you could 3bet? Depending on the calls you get and from what you've gleaned at your game, put those callers on a range of hands , see and analyze the flop and think who may have hit what, if you're in SB C-bet regardless whether you hit an Ace or not on the flop and well..I dont know what else to tell you really. too little information.

Thank you lagalot.80% you raise is more than I do before.I reraise is only about 50%. raise andr check can be good or bad.

why do you limp 20% with Aces?

Dont limp with aces...

How do you keep track of this 20% figure. Do you do it precisely every 5th time you're dealt the hand? Do you use any other factors like effective stacks or aggression tendencies of players in the pot when deciding when to raise or is it more so at whim?

My table is very different , I play with incredibly aggressive fish, those fish however are able to put me on premium hands when I raise as I'm the only tight player , so that 80% raise and 20% limp doesn't just relate to aces but pretty much AQ , AK , QQ , .. Also when I'm out of position with such hands I tend to limp more due to insane preflop action. Every hand at the table , I let it be raised and re-raised preflop by these fish with their small pocket pairs or suited connectors before shoving and going heads up with one or two.. Most of the time my hands hold up and I double or triple up. The preflop action on the table calms down if I raise and instead of reraising each other like they typically do they'll just call the raise , I'm talking about 4-5 calls at a 7 handed table so they can see a flop and one out of them can give me a bad beat lol , I've had aces cracked by 2 pair on a flop (5,2) , that is when I raised and loads of other bad beats , tiny flush draws , straights. I prefer shoving preflop on such a table rather than let so many players call my raise regardless of how high to see a flop. Not sure if its the right play but it seems to be working for me .

limp with ACE sometime is right. Play in one way make others see through you.

To make it difficult for players to see right through you, you can also consider playing different hands the same way instead of the same hand different ways.

Well one could randomize as such by limping with only red aces , that makes 16 percent....


I only ever limp if there is an agromadfish which then again a raise would not deter them from pushing over you anyway...

Also, needless to say, you don't encounter these species often...

So never limp, just widen your raising range to disguise them

Dan Harrington looks at his watch when he wants to randomize his play some of the time. E.G. He wants to limp Aces 20% of the time and raise 80% of the time. If the seconds are between 0-48 he will raise and if it is 48-60, he will limp, this allows it to be completely random so that no one can read him.

However at the stakes your playing you don't need to do this, just raise 100% of the time with Aces. No one will pay attention anyway.
