Can hanging out with pocket aces be a challenge?

[Abutre98]

I don't win with aces, I always fall with them, does anyone else have bad luck with pocket aces?

Maybe very often there are problems with this couple.

Aces get cracked ~ 20% vs 1 villain.

How do you play them? Are you capable of folding when you are most likely behind? They are the best hand preflop, but postflop things can change quickly...

For me AA is win a litte or lose a lot.
Nothing between.

If more than 3 players call my allin preflop with pocket rockets I usually loose

I almost always when I play AA I always lose with them, it's so annoying!

AA’s I’ll take every day all day long baby let’s go!! Seriously look at how you are playing them if you are always loosing with this hand. You should be winning a lot with it. Try to get heads up with this hand and that should help. Good luck!

If AA isn't your biggest winner BY FAR you are paying them wrong.

AA, KK, QQ, and AK should be gigantic winning hands.

Aces are not invincible. I think that the slow play increase the chances of losing the hand. Idk if that's the case.

I lost the opportunity to stay in a tournament because of a pair of QQ, I got irritated with that, everything pointed to victory and I lost to K 7

Pocket aces won't lose very often, but they will happen from time to time. Your pocket aces will lose a lot in poker, that's a simple fact. And this does not mean at all that the poker room where you play is a scam.One of the main benefits of holding AA is that you almost always have a chance to win the pot.

I've learned to accept that any hand can win or lose, so I only focus on whether or not I'm making proper decisions given the situations I find myself in.

You can't look at just one hand. You can lose an all-in with aces at the final table in wsop main event. Aces should still be your biggest winners over a decent hand sample.

As stated many times before: Poker is luck in the short term, but skill in the long term. And the long term can be very, very long. Especially if you play mainly tournaments.

always raise, you have the odds on you

Yes, many players have problems with pocket aces. As strong starting cards in poker, they do have a lot of potential, but the outcome of the game depends on many factors, including your decisions and actions after the hand. Playing with pocket aces requires strategy, as winning is not always guaranteed.

Just now I lose with Aces😂
My opponent cashed out but me I am not afraid and I continued and faced the loss 🤦‍♂️
I should’ve cashed out $8.63 something, but it’s fine now since I cannot change anything.

I think you should be delighted every time you hold them. If the position gives you an advantage, take advantage of it with an all in, if not, be careful and it can still bring you some profit. All of us we are happy when we are dealt a pair of aces but that does not guarantee that everything will go well.
Good luck!

with a pair of aces, you need to open up rather than lose, many players try to lure players with a pair of aces and too many players enter the hand and then lose to two pairs or a set to someone, and if you play aggressively and the opponent also plays with you and you lose to a set of kings or another, then you're just out of luck, sometimes you just need to watch you play with a pair of aces and look for mistakes if they are

Most of the time it's better to play aggressive compared to slow playing or inducing. Don't give your opponent a free flop or turn, don't try to induce a bet after 4-betting, just c-bet. It's better to win a small pot than it is to lose a big pot because you don't want to fold with aces.
