AA strategy

[amonlima]

Shove its the best,i believe,unless you know for sure that they will fold,i think you must adapt to every table,so try to know you oponent and you will know the best answer,but shove its the standard good
God bless

No, raising will always be the best option. Limp and jam will always be the worst decisions. Reasons: by limping, you will give yourself chances to play the spot with more than one person, and this is very bad, because, when more players participate in the hand, your chance of losing increases; When we play jam, we will only draw from strong hands and that often won't happen. Note: the shorter we have 5/12 bbs, more or less then we can jam because our shoving range will be wider and we will receive calls with a wider range too, but we need to be aware of our opponents' stacks.

I dont know about that,pro players said that shove was the best aways,if you just raise you wont extract the amount of value you could,if you will get called from weaker hands they probably are already stronger then the aces in flop or turn to keep putting chips in the table,if you shove,you can get one or two stacks sometimes,if you raise,you can use the most powerful hand pre flop in the game to extract value in flop,maybe turn and lose chips to a lot of two pairs and stronger hands,shove really feels like the better option XD

Sometimes I shove all in. Sometimes I slow play em. What kind of strategies do you use with Aces in MTT’s. And any bad beat stories about them would be fun to hear

My BB story.. I have AA with my opponent flipping over AK.. board goes 56789 to chop it up lol

Hi
There are different tournaments, different stages, different situations and opponents. So I play depending on the situation, but I definitely never go all-in
Good luck

Slowplay is evil. You need to have the first nuts to slowplay, otherwise it can become very painful.

It depends on stage of tourney , stack , position . Deep and EP i might try to set a trap , get a raise , some more to call this raise then act accordingly...

Straight shoving is horrible, you won't get much out of it, because you will only get called cooler, the vast majority of the time. If you shove vs 3bet from a guy who doesn't fold anything, that's a good thing, because generally you'll stalk these guys.

It's best to make a strong bet pre-flop to protect your AA, and if someone calls, then you can get a lot of chips from that player.

 

[Jean-Guy]

All thing equals I play AA as all other raising hands. Thus, I always raise 3BB. By raising the same amount you disguise your hand strength. If there is a raise of x blinds I 3-bet three times x. It is designed to have zero or one caller. Normally a caller would be in dire straits and Mark Knopler won’t help him.
Slowplaying AA is a cardinal sin.

I just swore one 😀:

I hope my colleagues don't get upset, but it's a very stupid way that I played.

While I certainly think that's worth a good swear word or 3 no judgements here. Some people are soft and hate passion. I like it, nothing wrong with being human. It's directed at no one personally.

I think you're being results based in your thinking that was I stupid way to play. Who doesn't want AA vs QQ vs a random 2 of another villain? Just very very very very unlikely and lucky other villain had AA leaving you nothing to hit. Also might be lucky they didn't have 2 random cards as that leaves more chances for them too hit cards and beat you.

Just a terrible bad beat nothing more. I'm shoving that all day everyday and every time in that spot. Don't beat yourself I think you got it right. Idc what GTO thinks.

Cheers!!!

That was the idea why I hesitated to put all in from the start because you are blind preflop and you don't know for sure who is calling what 😀. I was definitely surprised to see another pair of aces but I calmed down in this regard, now we have emotions because of the ladies who were looking for a stack doubling by taking the risk and managed to triple. That's what I call going blindly 😉.
I was wondering if we went all in from the start...would the queens join us?

I think he would have called his QQ on a preflop all-in.

The strategy depends on your position at the table, your stack and how many players enter the pot, and the second part depends on the Flop.

AA plays aggressively, when playing slowly he is always beaten.
