Poker Aces references two aces being dealt before theflop. It’s the strongest attainable pre-flop hand inhold’em Poker. But despite this many gamblers end up on the wrong end when dealt these cards.
When you’re given a set of Aces, you just do not drop out pre-flop. You are positioned with the greatest achievable hand at this stage of the round. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you basically go all-in? I would say no to that.
Always remember, you are trying to acquire as much money from this strong position. You want to maximise the opportunity. Going all-in will merely drive most individuals into dropping out and not putting a wager.
If you are in the starting seat (first or second to wager), you will place a single wager. Anyone with a decent hand will call, with luck a player might raise. If there has been a raise do not jump 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 strategy will be to eliminate anyone that could be able to get a straight or a flush. So I would begin to raise aggressively, if you’re lucky you’ll trick one player into thinking that you are bluffing.
If you’re in the middle or later spot (one of the last to place a wager) you’ll watch as every player calls and then raise. Even with you sitting with a pair of aces, if possible try to abstain from a show-down. Protect your hand by forcing the other players drop out following the flop. If you don’t drive out your adversaries you risk squandering your hand.
