I easily reset AA if the flop is 987 or 108J. Well, like this! And in General, if there is no ACE on the flop, you can easily burn out.

Do not forget that two aces win 80% around only if you play face to face but if there are more players involved in the draw, then your chances of winning fall significantly !!! For some reason, many players forget about it !!!

Love AA preflop. Don't love playing them in multiway pots.

its a good hand for pre-flop, you have to make quite big raise or re-raise to cut off the most of the players and then in head-up you have good chances to win

Yes, you are right, if you go to the flop with 3 other players, they only win half.

We would all like to play very often with an "AA" pocket. However, we must remember that in a pre-flop game situation we will have the highest percentage of winning ... but after the flop the situation changes and we must be careful ...!

About five years ago, a pair of aces was just a terrible hand. And now, due to the fact that they began to play much more garbage hands, aces have turned from a monster hand into an ordinary pair of medium strength!

Some people are physically unable to fold aces or kings.
It is a practice one shall go through - practice folding those hands if the board demands that. That is a part of a professional routine.

I like most players very much like pocket AA, but I play with them very carefully, because very often I lose with them

Love them a lot more than any other pocket pair preflop. How much I love them throughout the rest of the hand depends on what kind of board and action I get from the rest of the table.

I like pocket aces but if there is not ace on the flop, you can easily bust out, it often happens to me with AK

This means that you lack your skills. Even with such a strong pair, there are many factors to consider. Understanding how to act will come to you with experience.

AA is a good starting hand. But not 100 percent to win, you need to understand this and play accordingly

Play aggressive though. Multiways can end bad.

It's a tight rope walk with pocket aces. Great against an isolated villain, not with a multi-way. Great pre-flop, not after a flushy/straighty flop.

However, you can't get too gun shy. I love the way Andrew Neeme in his vlog always frames aces as 'the strongest hand in poker' with a smile on his face. In the past 24 hours I have had aces bust twice, with a straight wrapped around only one of the villains cards...however, I'd rather see a pair of aces than any other hand.

I love pocket aces. With pocket aces, the main thing is to play aggressively and not slowplay.

If for you, pocket aces are only a 50% chance of winning, then you better change your hobby. :D
