Yesterday I lost 4 hands with AA.
As for me, I prefer to play with a card, for example, 6-7,9-10, Q-K, J-10.
More hands I win by collecting Street or Flush.
A pair of AA it so remains just a pair.

AA dynamic

AA is still one of those hands that perplex even the most seasoned player....LOL Many times I take my previous read of the table to dictate my play with AA pre flop.

I'll take aces you can have all the others...

One pair doesn't guarantee you anything. Play to get value when ahead and get out when you are clearly behind.

The more you play the easier it will become to differentiate between the two.

Good luck to you! :D

AA is a strong hand and wins in 90% of cases. I think it's necessary to play aggressively with this hand. Also are not afraid to lose.

Yes, AA is just a pair but it's also the best starting hand preflop which means that you are already ahead of everyone else, the percentages are on your side. It's just bad luck that you lost 4 times in a row with them but that's variance and part of the game. After the flop things get a bit worse of course if you don't improve your hand and someone else continues with you to turn, but you are still far from drawing completely dead.

Suited connectors are great and I love them too but I would take Aces in my hand any day before them. You can't win every time with them but the key is just to play cautiosly and pay attention to the board. Most of the time holding Aces pays off and gives you a nice and juicy pot.

more likely to win with ak than with a pair of A. it makes sense to try to play rough with such a hand.

Try to be aggressive pre-flop to decrease that player with much worse hands enter and end up seeing the flop favoring them.

It's said you have a 20% winning chance, so 4 times lost, make the next one worth winning all your losses back and a little extra ;)

a pair of aces is winner or loser, it all depends on how you play

Loss with a pocket hand AA is perceived painfully. But I think that pocket pair AA is the most profitable hand on the distance.

Aces

AA is a ultra premium hand in NLH. In NLH the hands dealt are weak with limited potential even KK. The main error is thinking your AA are good on a flush 4 card straight board. Or when the hand does not flow how it logically should if you are ahead. If TAG player check raises you on the flop instead of check call then your pair of aces,which is what they are,is probably no good.

" You can win a small pot or lose a big pot. With Aces." Doyle Brunson.

At me this pair wins in 80% of cases. Just need to use it correctly. If you limped, you obviously lose. Be right preflop and you will be happy.

AA is a no brainer, you will bet ahead or at the absolute worst be looking at a chop. Poker is a gamble, best hands lose all the time, but that doesn't mean you back off with the bullets. Just my opinion of course

I'm very lucky with AA. I'm always making a profit from it. I always try to go all in preflop to win lots of chips and the AA pair does not disappoint me. Now, after the flop, it gets more dangerous. depends very much on the action of the opponent.

So you can not use AA properly, you need to train more

With this hand I ALWAYS go allin preflop. In this I sleep peacefully and do not worry about such distributions. Try this strategy, I think you'll like it.

After having played many hands with AA ... and having seen many others ... my conclusion is that in most of the times that the hand of AA has lost is due to slowplay ... many use that strategy of slowplay to try to win more chips and end up losing everything. It is for this reason that I play AA with reasonable aggression ...

I'm sure and I want you to listen to me, this pair wins more than once loses. Even these 4 losses will not make me believe in AK more than in AA

Can't stand 'em - can never get enough pre-flop value, and usually aggressive bets get called with QJ suited that either flush or straight - FML:mad:

With AA preflop, I usually go all-in
