Hello Poker Players.

I want to ask how you play Pocket Aces in MTT ? Most I go All-in but lost against Straight (even low) or Pocket Kings with a Set. But I think, sometimes I have to go All-in to raise my Stack. How do you play ? Looking forward for your answers.

The result does not matter much if you can put all the preflop hand chips to do. good luck .

Usually raise/3-bet, if you are short stack 15bbs and less shove.

Of course you can loose with an AA, but [only looking your cards], against one opponent, tou have 86% of chances to win. Against a KKyou have 81% to 82,3% of chances to win. Against a 7-6 suited, you have 76,8% of chances to win. It is a risk, but a good risk to overcome.

The concept you pravilnaya.To that you sometimes lose with pocket aces does not matter. When Allin one opponent you have only a little more than 60% chance of winning. A large number of competitors with less total. But in the long run you have a good chance of winning with AA. I play with a pair of AA itself also.

It varies! It depends on the journals, and the mood of the players as well!

If you can get your opponent to go all-in, go all-in. You will win in a long run. :)

It depends a lot on the circumstances, but pushing all in is usually not the best play. Calling all in is almost always the best play though.
The only time I would push all in, is when my opponent has shown to always call pre flop, no matter how big the bet is.
In most other cases a simple raise / 3bet is the best.
If you see that your opponent always raises when limped to, just limp; if you see he always folds to a raise preflop, but then keeps calling post flop, just limp and then bet every street.
As you can see, a lot of possible scenarios while holding AA with all a different approach, and this is just a small sample of all possibilities.
One thing that does come back a lot is that it depends on the player you are playing against, so be observant, maybe use a HUD to track their behaviour.

if you have the chance to go allin with AA, go for it especially a heads-up lol. It's the best starter you can have. Many people cant lead their opponents to call allin against your AA pre-flop though.

First of all you must realise that AA is not always the best hand, and cam be beaten by a number of hands. Depending on your position you are better with a big raise.

Its judgement call - you need the stack and you can't predict the cards. But I haven't figured this out yet either. I prefer a 2x or 3x raise and if reraised then pushing. If no reraise then push on the flop. Unless a really nasty flop

With stekoi 20BB or less, you can play and immediately shove, I do not think that with a larger stack preflop shove AA budep correct.

the draw goes depending on character of a table if there are people ready to expose all depth of the stack go all in if more serious rivals of to bet/3bet/4bet push play, proceeding from your first message you in general are afraid to play this hand, then ask yourself a question and what hands then in general to play? :)

Usually I´ll raise 3x/3.5x depending on my table position. You can shove in some situations, like when you´re playing at a table with Donkey / Aggro players, and expect they´ll call with worst hands.
