How to play strong hole pairs ?

If I got AA and shove I get 1.5 BB.
If I call with AA I get straight in my face and get lost.
What is the right way to play ??

Bet them but make sure it's a standard raise so if you're betting 3x with A10 then do the same with AA

Ideally you want to be heads up with someone. Early on the 3x raise may get multiple callers, but at the higher blinds that same 3x raise may get you that heads up situation.

It depends how the table is playing. Table observation is key here. What kind of raises are generating multiple callers and what are generating single callers. If you have this information you will best know how to proceed.

If it difficult to take a decision, without thinking bet all in. This scheme works fine.

You're kind of asking the wrong type of question. Two cards in the hole are just two cards. Nothing else. There is no single right way or wrong way to play it.

It's more about what you are aiming to do. Pre-flop you are 4:5 against any two. So your goal should be to get money in the pot. However that may happen. If you're early position, no reason not to make a decent raise. 3xBB for a tight-ish table, 4xBB for a loose-ish table. 2.5xBB if your guys in the blind like to 3-bet/squeeze a fair amount.

Remember, the real action happens on the flop. That's where the game really happens. So don't look at having AA as being your "big moment". It's not. I'd rather hit a set of 6s with 66 in the hole in position, then a set of aces out of position.

I do not know, I try but I do not know

raise em and if someone 3bets then you 4bet and see what happends

Last night, I lost my AA with such passive play. I know this is such tremendous mistake but still continue doing it.

Least you can do is simply have to bet.

You should make the same type of raise with every hand, raising small with certain hands and big with others will give people tells on you.

The way I play AA, is if there's no raise, I raise between 3-5BB, depending on stakes im playing and wether its cash or tourney.

If there's a raise before me, I 3bet. Say blinds are $1/$2, and someone before me raises to $6, I will 3bet here to $15-$18.
If I'm heads up with the raiser, and I have his stack covered, i'm happy to 3bet shove instead, especially if the raiser is short stacked. (AA is %80 to win preflop, but it feels like they lose a hell of a lot more then just %20 of the time, so Im happy to steal blinds/raises to a 3bet/shove with this hand.)

HOWEVER, Some people will just call a raise, some people will just limp.

Table image, wether you're opponents are loose or tight players, wether they're aggressive or passive, etc etc will influence your decision. Every pro has an adaptive play style, they play in accordance to the table , meaning they will play AA one way, on one table, and a different way on a different table. (I'm not a pro, don't get that idea).

With practice, you'll find your comfort zone, but for now, don't raise so small that speculative /trash hands are getting a good price to play, and don't raise so big that everyone knows what you're holding. Raise the same with every hand you want to raise with.

Many situations depend not only on the cards. You should see your opponents. If you have one opponent's you can raise 2-3BB. But if you play under gun position you should raise 5-6BB. If you play in freeroll, go all in and believe in miracle

as the friend said, the action depends on more factors beyond the cards , but the best way for me is giving your standard raise , so that opponents do not be scared , but also preventing several players enter the hand

First look how tight you're players are, if you have loose players that call every hand, then raise 5x the blinds, if there tight 2x the blinds,

Make the same bet as with any other hand.
Its also possible to make the raise a big bigger (especially on low limits and MTTs).

Anyway dont limp, and dont shove right away, unless there is maniac behind you.

Important part: after flop, unless you got a set, you have to play your AA/KK just as strong pair. Dont overplay it, from time to time, you just need to fold. If you dont fold, try at least some pot control.

Every time is different!!YOU MUST THINK THAT ACES ARE GOOD ONLY PRE FLOP!!!Do not marry them if your flop isn't good,drop them!!If you are in a tournament with few blinds all in baby is the only way!!In the long run aces will pay you!!

I hurts so much when you 3-bet AA and they fold all, then most situations it is advisable to make a standard bet, fits many situations thats opponents can pay us, make a re-raise or we send allin, always want a least one pay

It depends but a good raise is a must.
