Once I won with AA, today I lost again. How you play with AA? You go all-in, or do you act like you have nothing at all?


Try to get it in preflop and hope it holds

If I have many opponents and there is only one raise in preflop I will often play pretty cautiously and try to get to showdown for 1 or 2 bets rather than playing for my entire stack.

Hope those tips help :D

Its depends

Hello, that depends friend, that you are dealt AA does not mean that you will automatically win or that there is a certain way to play. you have to observe the table, your rivals, how they acted, everything. To start you have to put together the preflop move, raising or doing 3bet or 4bet to make the big pot, then you are isolating yourself with a strong hand that you dominate. I hope it works for you, regards

You should play AA the same as you would the rest of the hands in your range. So, if you are the first to enter the pot, then you should raise whatever amount you typically do (2.5-3 BBs). If there are limpers in front of you, then you want to make a pot sized bet. If there is a raise is front of you, then you want to make a pot-sized 3 bet.

If it makes it to the flop, then you want to bet the same as you would the rest of your range in that position IF the board favors your range. If you are in position, then most boards are going to favor you. The boards that you want to be leery of are boards that are connected or with a lot of medium cards. Make a good continuation bet and play from there.

Just jamming with AA or any other hand will make you really easy to play against. If you are only jamming your best hands and are folding or limping with the rest then you are setting yourself up to be exploited. Your opponents will know to fold when you jam and to 3 bet or call and bluff the flop and/or turn on most boards because they know you don't have a premium hand. You want to keep your opponents guessing.

Iam not bet all in in this Situations, often bet a lowest stack as normal blind is and playing Smart, trying to push some players to bet a higher stack and if at the table is a big amount of chips trying to raise or all in but only if i know i have more than 80% chance to win, usually its works :-D but sometimes its different, AA its not always a higher...

For me it depends on the position and the type of players at the table, also if you are playing in a freeroll or at a real money table. Generally in my case I increase the pre flower 3x and depending on the reaction increases in the post flop, always according to the position.

Surely this depends on other factors. Are you in a tourney or a cash game? If it's a tourney, at what stage and what's your situation? What position are you in, and what have other players done ahead of you? What do you know about your opponents' game styles? Remember your AA makes, at most, only 40% of your best hand at the river. All you know preflop is that no one is ahead of you at this stage. In most situations, you'll want to narrow the field to improve your odds of actually winning, so usually a raise or 3-bet. If you can narrow it down to heads up preflop you're going to win a lot more often than you'll lose. But slow-playing may draw in a wider field and create a much bigger pot - provided your aces connect with the board. In short, there is no best, or "correct" way to play AA.

You need to play your AA against 2 players at max, for that you need to make a bet depending on your table and position.

There's not a magical formula...

The best tactic is to raise the bet in 3-4 big blinds. But there are situations when opponents are very cautious or only one player plays against you. In this case, you can lure the player by calling and wait until the opponent starts attacking you, not knowing that you have AA:eek:

I personally hate this hand. I have lost almost all of them when I get it. From 20/18 I have lost it.
My advise would be going all in so in that way you get more chances of winning with less players against you. But now what I do is nothing, just check it and call it and at the end decide what to do.

I always play AAs slowly, and always 90 percent of the time get burned. I need to learn to go all in. Dont like that cause you might not get players in the hand. But I sure have learned from now on I am going all in. I really need to learn how to lay them down once flop has come. Dont know why I dont like aces. But I dont learn I find myself losing so many times on cash table with AAs. I really dont know how to play them but for me I am all in.
