Poker Aces references two aces dealt before theflop. It is the strongest possible pre-flop hand inhold’em Poker. But despite this a large number of bettors end up on the losing end when given these cards.

When you are given a pair of Aces, you just don’t fold pre-flop. You are sitting with the greatest achievable hand at this part of the game. So how do you bet with Poker Aces ? Do you simply go all-in? I’d say definitely no to that.

Always remember, you’re attempting to acquire as much profit from this strong position. You will want to maximize the opportunity. Going all-in will actually scare most players into dropping out without making a wager.

If you’re in the starting spot (1st or 2nd to bet), you will place a single wager. Anybody with a decent hand will call, hopefully a person will raise. If someone has made a raise do not hop to re-raise or call, pause for a small bit – make them think you’re considering your options and then call.

Following the flop your tactic will be to get rid of any player that could be able to get a straight or a flush. So I would start to raise aggressively, if you’re fortunate you’ll fool 1 player into believing that you’re tricking.

If you’re in the middle or late seat (one of the last to place a bet) you will watch as every player calls and then raise. Even with you holding a pair of aces, if you can try to avert a show-down. Protect your hand by forcing others to fold after the flop. If you don’t get rid of your competitors you chance losing your hand.
