Poker Aces references two aces being dealt before theflop. It’s the strongest attainable before theflop hand inhold’em Poker. But despite this many bettors find themselves on the wrong end when given this hand.
When you’re dealt a pair of Aces, you just do not fold pre-flop. You’re sitting with the best achievable hand at this stage of the round. So how do you wager with Poker Aces ? Do you simply go all-in? I’d say no to that.
Bear in mind, you are attempting to produce as much profit from this strong position. You need to maximize the opportunity. Going all-in will merely drive most players into folding without placing a wager.
If you are in the early position (1st or 2nd to place a bet), you’ll lay a single bet. Anyone with decent cards will call, with hope someone will raise. If there has been a raise do not hop to re-raise or call, pause for a short while – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.
After the flop your tactic will be to eliminate anybody that might be able to build a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise boldly, if you are fortunate you’ll fool 1 player into believing that you are tricking.
If you are in the center or late seat (one of the last to wager) you’ll watch as everyone calls and then raise. Even though you are sitting with a pair of aces, if possible try to abstain from a show-down. Defend your hand by making the other players drop out following the flop. If you don’t drive out your competition you risk squandering your hand.
