What's the most profitable way to play the nuts, aggressively or being tricky?

It depends on the opponent , how many blinds you have , the stage of the tournament . I like the tricky way , especially if the opponent is loose a lot .

That’s what you have to figure out. It depends on if you flopped the nuts, will they still be the nuts at the end of the hand? Did you River the nuts? What position are you in? How many players in the hand. Hopefully you have been paying attention up to this point and you have a good read on your opponents. Good luck!

Playing poker can be a lot of fun if it's done well. If we talk about absolute nuts, it means a combination that dominates the course of the draw. It can only be seen on the river. You need to play aggressively here.

depends on the players, type of game and some luck. I like to try make the other player do the work and take advantage, but that doesnt always work

Maybe I'm a bit stupid but which nuts are we talking about here? Is this about how to play AA or is it about the best possible hand you can have and you know for sure that no one at the table can have a better one?

I think aggressiveness would be the best way to play

Depends on a lot of things, like how you are perceived as a player, How you perceive the players you are up against, What position you are in at the table, Chip stack size's, The list can go on and on.
I once found myself in a game on the BB with pocket Kings 3 other players limped in, Now a friend who was watching me said "Boom shove it all in" I just said "No thanks, Just watch and Learn" The flop came K/J/J and I checked, the other players took over the action and after a series of bets and raises I just came along for the ride, After the 2nd King landed on the Turn I checked again, My Friend watching this on my computer could not believe I was playing so slow but after more bets and calls I Told him "These two are both playing 10/Jack" and he said "how can you possibly know that" I just said "I don't, but willing to bet you on it" The 4th limper folded on the Turn and then I started to raise, just enough so that the shortest stack would be pot committed and would have to shove all-in the other player just called and I re-raised again this time enough to make him go all-in and he did.
The cards were turned over and sure enough they both had Jack/10.
Now you could argue that any 4 of a kind can be beaten with a Straight Flush of Royal Flush, but with 4 different suits on the table when the Turn card landed that was impossible so Yes! I had the "Nuts"!
Give them enough Rope and they Will Hang themselves!

That is very, very specific play. It works really well when I play the nuts as a bluff. And sometimes it also happens when I press hard. In the first case, if the opponent reads the game, there is a high probability of success. In the second, it often happens that big bets are paid for just a pair.

It depends of your opponent style. Most of the times I prefer to slow play, but like I said it all depends of your reading of your opponent.

Hi, I think the nuts will be played to get more values from them, and you should get more chips from this hand.

It depends on the tournament, the type of opponent and other circumstances, but during a tournament, a mix of aggressiveness and passivity will certainly confuse and bring better results than always acting in the same way.

🎂Most likely we are talking about a chocolate cake with nuts inside.🎂

admirable his tranquility in playing that way. I wouldn't be so cold to check on the flop. I would want to isolate at least one of the players already on the flop. Good game.🤌🏻👏🏻

It is necessary to play moderately aggressively and quite cunningly. I think it all depends on who your opponents are. It is necessary to watch the game of your opponents and then decide how to play.
