AA is the best starting hand for me and for many other players. But even she can lose in the game

We know pocket Aces are the best starting hand in Hold'em. But is it the very best hand?

what do you think?
Royal Flush is the best hand; pocket Aces are just the best hole cards preflop :)

Of course, AA is still good in a lot of post-flop situations, but if a lot of chips are going in, AA is still only just One Pair.

Yes, for me pocket AA's pre-flop is the best starting hand.

Certainly AA is the best hand, in any position. What you can't do is limp with AA or call with only a raise.

It is fundamental to maximize the pot pre-flop.

for preflop push, stacks have less than 20 blinds, yes, but deep stacks are not always convenient to draw, it's hard to fold

But in practice, drawing from AA to the river goes sideways and the advantage is usually already on the side of the opponents

Hello, Achie Karas! Yes, pair of Aces is a best starting hand in Hold'em... But unfortunately, or by happiness,
eventually in Hold'em is winning the best combination from the different cards! That's all!

pocket aces are everyone's dream starters, but depending on the board, they will be beat.

In most cases, we need to play pocket aces aggressively, defend it before flipping the flop to sort out the intruders, and also pay attention to our position on the table, however, luck may not be on your side:(
Good luck:)

I have the hardest time playing with TT and JJ preflop. I rarely give up playing with AA, I usually play hard.

I think yes and no.
Depends...
If preflop you are the first one to go all-in and there are only one or two callers, then I think it is reasonable to say that AA should be more often than not the best hand by the river.
On the other hand very often it is the opposite in multi-way pots with more than two callers preflop or on the flop, regardless if allin or not.
