Playing Ace Ragz
The tendency when we have aces is most people tend to bet a lot and if you’ve been out kicked then you stand to lose a lot of chips. To keep this from happening there are a few things I like to do to keep my Ace Ragz winning.
1) Position – Only limp in on lower limit blinds if you’re in early position and if you’re raised too high then fold. This can prevent you from getting caught with the low card and being out kicked. If you’re in early position and the blinds are high I always fold. Nothing’s worse than losing your blind when you didn’t have to when someone else raises because they have pocket pairs or Ace king or something like that.
In late position call or raise depends on the number of previous callers and their betting habits. If there is one tight caller or raiser then just call, but if a few loose players call or raise, then raise.
2) Suit – If your Ace Ragz cards are suited then you have a few more options. If the blinds are low then you should most likely limp in early. If you’re raised by someone later on in the game, whether you stay in depends on the player that raised. Fold if he’s tight and call if he’s loose and raise if there are two or more loose ones calling. Either they’ll call you with krap or they’ll fold, either way you would tend to fair better against them because not only do you have an Ace you have the potential to pop a flush too.
These are just a couple of tips and pointers that I use when I come across Ace Ragz in poker play. So if you keep this stuff in mind maybe when Ace Ragz falls into your hands you’ll do better. Good luck at the tables!!
