How to play AA


Recently I was in the beginning of the tournament and the village gave all in after my raise and won me with a pair of 2...:mad:

What better way to play for you at all stages of the?

Any time you go all-in you are saying I have the best hand. Any pair needs to become a set to be of some use, from 22 to AA, so you both bet on getting a set. That's why most books say bet 3xBB for AA KK QQ AK before the flop. Never seen it said to go all-in.

I would still wan't to see the flop before going all-in on any cards, except on final table in the money and low stack.(below 5 BB)

Only a raise, I do not need a lot of people in the pot

I come to the conclusion that AA every time, you need to play differently. It depends on the place, aggression of other players and your stack.

That's because most books assume that you're playing serious poker against serious, knowledgeable and experienced players. The reality is that in most low stakes games (ESPECIALLY freerolls), the other players will often call your AA overbet pre-flop, or all-in 3-bet w/ any low pair, and any AX. Flush chasers will often call pretty much any bet with any two suited cards.

It very much depends on the stakes and the level of play. Freerolls are the loosest (even looser than play money). The higher the stakes, the more serious, knowledgeable and experienced the players, and hence the more applicable the book's teachings.

With a pair of aces, I play aggressively raise and reraise, but I must raise the bet !!! Your task is to leave as few players as possible in the game !!!! And most importantly do not forget that a pair of aces - it's still a couple of cards, although the older pair !!! Remember if the bank went to 3-4 people then your chance to play about 50% !! This is a good chance but this is a coin toss !!!!

Usually I do not pay even with AA at the beginning of the tournament, I prefer to drop my hand, and when I have more chips, I face this way if I end up losing, I do not fall out of the tournament,

When i play with AA I usually always 3 bet, or on 3bet I do 9bet, but I never slowplay my hand because I always fear the garbage hands that receive two pairs on the flop.

With a pair of aces I play only aggressively, many times I played a small bet and lost, now only a 3-bp raise or all-in, and it goes very well when playing with fewer people in the pot, for TT only aggression is needed or everyone has their own opinion

Sometimes they are just going to get broke. Play them for what they are, the best preflop hand in poker.

With pocket pair AA - raise to 3-5 BB from any position. If the opponent did re-raise, you need to make a 4-bet - and so on up to all-in. You need to reduce the number of players. Don't slowplay pocket aces, the situation on the flop may change not in your favor.

I think AA needs to be played differently depending on the situation.

When I'm short I tend to go all in or raise 2/3 x BB pre-flop, and all-in at the flop. When I have a good stack I tend to raise by a little in order to steal as much as possible.

You played just fine. Getting it all in preflop against one opponent is among the most preferable situations with AA (and KK). Yes, you lost that time. Yes, it ended that tournament for you. Still, you played well. Just let it go and move on. It's a part of the game.

May I add a thought. I landed preflop KK shoved all in and came against AA. Fortunately for me a K came on the flop. I was lucky and felt bad for my cardschat friend. He had me beat. What else could have I done with my two cards and him with his?

In a tournament I don't usually like to go all in early.

But if you have Aces, made a good raise and someone re-raises me all in I'm going to call every time because the odds are with me.
