I go all in before the flop with Aces, never fold them. I prefer to win just the blinds if nobody calls before the flop, rather than go broke making a bad call afterwards. But, hey, that's me, feel free to listen to others and do whatever you think is best!

You have the best hand preflop and you'd rather only the blinds?

I would go all in in the beginning and see what will happen. AA is the best pair you could have. You can lose, but very rare

I have tried to just raise with them but never seems to work out. I almost always go all n now and what will be will be..........at least then I don't regret slow-playing them and allowing weaker hand to be made.

Depending on the type of chip stack you have, you play aces very aggressively.

If you have a large chip stack, raise preflop by 5 to 7 times the blinds.

If you have a small to medium stack, shove all-in with aces because usually players are more looser in terms of style of play.

I play them aggressively but rarely all in unless I am short stacked. I will bet out unless I know have a maniac behind me raising every hand, then I will play for the reraise.

The problem with your question is "it depends". There is no clear cut answer because no 2 hands are the same. All the suggestions above are "not wrong". In addition to the posts, I will min raise early with the hope of someone coming over the top. There is no 1 way to play them that will make you the most money or a "right way".

The best suggestion I could offer is to watch some pros on twitch. Watch how the hands are played and the results. From there start to add to your game and the way you play hands to see what works. What works for one person won't for another.

I've tried going all in preflop but then everyone folds, I've tried raising and hoping someone calls and then raise and that gives me more chips. If it's a cash game i would just go all in because you don't want someone to flop a flush draw or something.

To play with a pair of aces is necessary on constant raises. Because if you do not raise, you will either win a small bank or you lose a big one. After all, someone can collect on the flop two weak pairs, and you can not throw off the aces. It is necessary to understand what kind of hands this opponent is playing. If you raised before the flop, the opponent carefully leveled the bet, and after the flop he himself increased greatly - this could mean that the opponent has a set. Depending on the nature of the opponent's game, you can understand with which cards he will take your enhancements. It's not so difficult to drop a pair of aces after the flop. Before the flop, you can bet all your money if the opponent plays aggressively, but be prepared to fold after the flop.

Its only 1 hand (and 1 pair). Sometimes they just need to go into the muck.

I personally feel AA and KK are the toughest hands to play. If I have AK and the flop is 56J, I'm certainly not going to put all my chips in the middle. If I have AA or KK it is a much more difficult decision.

Poker takes finesse which is why no book, video, coaching, ect.. can take the place of getting in a lot of hands.
