I think we all can agree that most people find it very difficult to play rockets properly (AA).
Here's a hand history from when I played earlier tonight and I was wondering if you have any thoughts on how I raised and played the hand:
Stacks:
UTG - UTG (T1,426)
UTG+1 - UTG+1 (T1,416)
MP - MP (T1,238)
MP2 - MP2 (T2,011)
CO - CO (T1,460)
BTN - Hero (T1,034)
SB - SB (T3,500)
BB - BB (T1,415)
Preflop: (T77, 8 players) Hero is BTN with A:club: A:spade:
3 folds, MP2 calls T30, CO raises to T60, Hero raises to T150, 3 folds, CO calls T90
Flop: 8:spade: A:heart: 7:heart: (T407, 2 players)
CO checks, Hero bets T180, 1 fold, Uncalled bet of T180 returned to Hero
Total Pot: T407
Hero wins T407
I've seen many people limp with aces and then min raise and just calls any raise no matter what the board looks like and I've consequently won a few hands vs AA that way by completing either straights, flushes, trips etc. What I still struggle with though is how to maximize value with the hand. So, any thoughts?
