aces?

Hey guys i just had a question wondering how all of you play aces from early to middle to late position. I mean how big are your raises compared to your chip stack and the blinds?

Raise them the same amount, regardless of position.Yes, I'm a "raise every hand the same amount regardless of strength or position" student. Yeah, there's no way that T98flop helped me....or is there? Oh, I only raised 3XBB with AKK flop, there's no way I have aces...or is there?

In a live game, shout, "Wooohoo, aces!" then jam the pot. Online, type "Woohoo, aces!" then jam the pot.

I will raise with AA 80% of the time. Usually you are still best after the flop with them, but I'm just too scared of someone picking up a draw on the flop, playing it and then making the hand on the river.You may win a lot of dinky pots like this but it is better to win them than to lose a big pot by getting your AA cracked on the river. Also there will be situations where someone re-raises, then you can go ahead and put them all in. I prefer to get the money in preflop with them. Though occasionally I will limp with them just for the sake of switching it up.This is if you're playing NL. In Limit you should ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS raise or re-raise with aces. It is VITAL to isolate your big pair in limit... you don't wanna play a multiway with them.

this is wrong. you don't always have to raise with aces in limit. at a super loose table with 6 people seeing each flop and you're in the BB with aces, why raise after everyone limps? no only are you giving away your hand but you are giving better odds to whoever will draw on the flop.i think saying ALWAYS is quite dangerous here.

I agree with that, raising in certain spots (like the blinds) will never really get anyone to fold in a loose low limit game. You DO want to play a multiway with them, since you have the best chance of winning and you'd rather get more money in the pot. That said, you don't raise with aces in low limit because you are trying to reduce the number of callers. You do it to get more money in the pot. There is nothing wrong with slow playing them from time to time, provided you can avoid massive tilt when they get cracked.

We had a loooooooooong bitch session a long time ago about QQ (a weaker hand) and we came to the conclusion that giving away the big hand be damned, we're raising because you've got such a big edge.I was against what we decided, I kinda thought along the same lines you did (I figured more because someone is likely to flop a draw, and if I raise from the BB then nobody is likely to bet the flop, HOWEVER if I can get a check-raise in on the flop, I might be able to drive some of the draws off the non-inflated (but still somewhat large) pot.Of course, if I can check-raise the turn, even better.
