This situation have happen to me a couple of times and I don't know what should I do. What do you do if you have pocket aces in cut-off and the other players before you folded?

Put in a bet of your usual size for that position, and hope you get three-bet. Ideally, you want only one other player to see the flop with you.

My TT card wins if I go all-in, if I play a small bet with TT very seldom win, and interrupt with small cards, I raise the bet 3-4 times to keep the game less players

In this situation you must play according to normal ... you must make a bet of 3bbs ... and wait to see how the villains react .... never slowplay with this hand of AA ... it is better to win little You lose your hand ... sometimes by playing slowplay with the intention of winning a bigger jackpot ... you end up losing everything ...!

You don't want to play big hands out of ordinary play. Don't make it obvious.

from CO you can already get some raise before, so you can re-raise. i dont think you must play it like you always do from that position, raise a bank, think it will be OK!

your "TT" here is a pair of Aces or 10,10?

I would raise three times blind and hope someone re-raises, then all-in. Advise against slow play.

You need to balance your game, with good cards, and bad cards, so an AA, will not change much the value of the bet. Regular players, and good bought, amateurs pass bet bigger values ​​with strong hands, and smaller values ​​with weak hands doing thighs, or with bets of 1x only. Finally balance your game.

This situation have happen to me a couple of times and I don't know what should I do. What do you do if you have pocket aces in cut-off and the other players before you folded?

One question that I like to have answered in a "folded to me" question is: "6 or 9 handed?" but in this case it is fairly irrelevant. (Not entirely, but generally). And other questions come to mind... but:

The later the position you play first from, the more it can look like a position play, which is fist-pumping great here, if we can sell a strong play as a position play (I mean, since you are in late position, your range is wider...) Either way, you play your aces strong here. If there are dynamics between you and anyone at the table, even better..... (we hope)

Only drawback you could have is if you have been folding, folding, folding when folded to you, and now you make your hand look like...... well... AA, KK etc.... Otherwise, play em strong and fast.

If it's folded to you make a standard raise that you would make with any other two cards you would like to play.

AA is the top pair and it's easier for you to make all-in and wait for the profit than to lose against 3 4 of the same suit:))

Recently on the PS pocket AA lose often. Did you notice it? I got caught a few times. I went all in, and played slow a couple AA(3ББ) with a view to profit. But turned into a complete collapse.

AA in CO is raise 2.3bb. Its range is too wide in this position to open. So you raise weak, the possibility of the button, SB, BB to call or even apply RE-RAISE is high, so it's a super lucrative move.

Raise with your normal sizing and let the action behind you dictate the next move.

Nine-and-a-half out of ten times, I find this is an excellent way to pick up the blinds and nothing else.

With AA I ALWAYS go All In because It's the only way to win for sure.

Only time I wouldn't put in a raise of say 3x would be if there's a maniac in one of the blinds . Otherwise I'd put in my raise. Very rarely do I get deceptive with aces. Sans. Maniac in big blind. Etc.

Just raise 3x BB and hope you get called or else you could raise 5 or 6 times the blind and the blinds might think you're trying to steal the blinds and either call or raise you
