Hi, I'm going to post a couple of hands where I think I played aces badly, what would you have done differently? In the first maybe my flop bet wasn't big enough?? The second I think is a bit unlucky, but I should have 3-bet preflop and I should have folded to his reraise. In the third hand I think I over-bet on the flop and I am doing it to avoid what happens in the first hand...but then I am probably losing value. I find aces quite hard to play, if you raise too much preflop as the initial raiser everyone folds and if you don't then you always run the risk of being outdrawn and losing a lot! Aces are not my most profitable hand, TT and 22 are more profitable for me! Thanks for any advice
