How would you pay pocket ACES preflop?

[ALL-In Willie]

check or raise, and you were the first to bet.Thanks, i meant first to act after the blinds...call or raise?Dunhate, i wished i woulda read this before i limped in utg and let a 7-2 beat me on the flop with two pair....RATS!!!pokercoach, my first thought was how to get more action, which was why i limped in, but now i see it was a rookie thought since i didn't have the nuts.

It really depends on the table...The other players at the table will make my decision...I would check and then re-raise w/e bet was made by atleast 3 times the bet...or i would lead off w/ a pretty hefty raise....u don't want more then 1 or 2 callers

AA holds up 16.5% of the time after the flop. You want to play it hard enough to get people to fold, but not hard enough so that everyone folds. Generally you want 1-2 people to see the flop with you. You have to be prepared to let it go if a flush or straight draw hits, or possibly even if the board pairs because someone might have caught trips against you.

It really depends on several things, on how I play pocket aces. It depends on where you are sitting with regards to the dealer most of all. It depends on your stack. And it depends on how the people you are playing with are playing.It never fails to surprise me though, how often pocket aces get blown out of the water!

I would bet 1/2 my stack unless I'm short stacked then i would go all in. If every 1 folds good u will win the blinds and make sure you never show the aces if every1 folds. u want to have 1 or 2 callers. If you know that you have a loose player or 2 at the table call the blinds and let some1 bet, then make your big bet.
