Poker Aces refers to two aces dealt before theflop. It is the strongest possible pre-flop hand inhold’em Poker. But despite this many gamblers find themselves on the wrong end when dealt these cards.
When you’re given a pair of Aces, you just don’t fold before theflop. You are positioned with the greatest achievable hand at this part of the round. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you actually go all-in? I would say absolutely no to that.
Keep in mind, you are trying to earn as much profit from this strong position. You want to maximize the possibility. Going all-in will simply drive most competitors into dropping out without placing a wager.
If you are in the starting seat (1st or 2nd to place a bet), you’ll make a single bet. Anyone with a decent hand will call, hopefully a person might raise. If there has been a raise don’t hop to re-raise or call, wait for a small bit – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.
Following the flop your course of action will be to get rid of any player that might get a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise aggressively, if you’re lucky you’ll fool 1 player into believing that you’re tricking.
If you’re in the center or later seat (near the last to place a bet) you will observe as everybody calls and then raise. Even with you holding a pair of aces, if you can try to avoid a show-down. Guard your hand by making the other players drop out following the flop. If you don’t force out your adversaries you risk squandering your hand.
