depends on the hand you are up against. The best hand to have against AA is suited connecters in mid range. ex- 89 suited for example, where AA is about 77% and that's as bad as it gets against one hand. You would need 6 others in the hand to have the field be favored against AA

Ofcourse you could shove with aces.
I dont really understand what you're asking here to be honest.

1. Aces are best in nlh cuz there is nothing better, and I'm talking preflop ofc.
2. Postflop aces could just be the strongest pair, but still only a pair.
3. If you don't wanna shove your aces preflop man that's up to you but it's nothing wrong with that either.

Surely you understand that it all depends from hand to hand like everything else with poker and that you play however you want.

I believe in you. :)

AA, Isn't 57% vs any hand preflop. It's only 57% In a multiway pots A.I so like AA vs KQ vs 10/J vs AK or something of that nature

AA is the absolute best starting hand in Texas Hold'em. It has has at least 77% equity vs any other hand preflop. But when you go to the flop/turn/river and you think that you are beaten, you need to be able to fold AA. Its not invincible. It does get beaten sometimes, but its still the best hand.

You have the best starting hand in poker pre flop, shoving is an option, not a requirement. Stack size, blinds, antes, tourney or cash game, many things to factor into your decision.

Even against multiple players, AA will always be the favorite to win vs any other hand combination. Even if it drops to 30% for AA vs 8 other players, that 30% to win will be higher than other hand percentage to win in this situation when AIPF, even if the entire fields chance to win is 70%.

AA will still profit vs multiple opponents more than any other hand over a large sample size, so dont be afraid to get your money in with AA against a lot of opponents.

Yea I get that, and didnt recommend folding against the field, was just trying to make a point as to how powerful the hand is.

I am not sure where the OP got 57% or if it is just a joke.

Hmmm, this is OP's second post on this. Wondering where OP got 57%. I wonder if thats backwards and meant 75%, still a bit low from actual.

I'm a bit confused by every part of this.

I guess I'll just go with the obvious answer and say AA, though. Lol.

Poker ranking shows AA is the top best hand.

It would dominate any unpair and pair hands at any given time.

Without hit from you and opponent on board, AA retains and wins.

Maybe OP's sucess rate with AA is only 57% because they're either suffering from the worst form of variance or they grossly misplay them.

AA 80% against a single opponent. 60% against 2 and still slightly fav against 3.

Well I know that's not the exact math but whats what I go by, but it don't matter cuz I never fold AA pre NEVER!

Final table in a tourney with AA and everyones in, I want to eliminate them all!
