There are many variants that should be considered when holding AA:
Is it a freeroll with thousands of players? All-in pre-flop at any time.
Is it a CardsChat freeroll?
- Are you in the last 3 positions? All in pre flop
- Are you in the top positions? 3 or 5 BB and start praying.
Are you playing tight and have the table players noticed? 3 or 4 BB.
Is it a paid buy in game? 3 or 4 BB.
Did someone raise your pre-flop bet and it was just the two of you? All-in.
In the above situation, did 2 or more pay the raise? Call

Golden rule to be considered: if you run away with AA in hand, where do you want to go?

Oh yeah. This situation happens almost every day for me. It was today too. and as usual when I'm on BB, everyone feels as though it's so offensive, but at the same time it's better than a flush or a small straight, as often happens and you will be interrupted in the end

I always make good raises with AA, never make a slow game

all in preflop scares the heck out of me so I usually fold. I've been burned a few times with AA and all in preflop.

Another stragety you can do i do not reccomand is go all in on people who have small chips and go all in with shitty cards... That way you are revealing to other people that your a donk so the next time you get AA and go all in they might just go

AA is playing aggressively, weeding out little things...

I just go all in when I have pocket aces for this reason.

In micro stakes when they see me go all in some of them also go all in.

If not they'll fold anyway which is what happens a lot of times when I raise.

The last time I had 2 aces I went all in pre flop and some other guy thought I was bluffing lost his whole stack.

happens very often . you hold AA and raise and everybody autofolds :D lol

it is almost creepy
Exactly, I hate that! Playing real poker at a low/no stakes table is almost fruitless. Pushing seems right in these circumstances.

It's especially cool when AA is dealt in the big blind and all opponents fold. 🤣 This has happened more than once.

Actually correctly play with “AA” is the art of poker! A lot depends on your opponents and their style of play. If there are aggressive players after your hand, then you should limp. If there are 3bet players, then make a small raise of 2-3 big blinds. If there are passive players, then raise to 4-5 big blinds. Well, if you got an “AA” on the big blind and everyone dropped their cards, it's a tragedy, of course. :ROFLMAO:

When I have AA I go all-in pre-flop at any time.

that's better go to a good raise and get all fold than slow play and lose the entire stack. Sometimes slow played AA could result in great stack damage. :cool::p

The point of playing poker is to win. And sometimes you have to make decisions that seem "wrong" at first glance. This is what distinguishes a strong player from an average or weak one.Unfortunately, we all suffer from the fact that we try to squeeze everything into some standard solutions and approaches.

i hate it when I'm BB, I'm planning to re-raise anyone that bets the instead they all fold. one of my conspiracies is that people have tools to see my cards, happens too often
